Feifer, George. "If the U-2 Hadn't Flown"
Divergence: 1960 CE
What if: The 24th U-2 overflight had never flown or the U.S. had adopted a different response
when it was shot down.
Summary: Article detailing the flight's history and how it obstructed potential improvement of
US-Soviet relations when Eisenhower and Krushchev met two weeks later. But despite asking
several what-if questions contains almost no allohistorical speculation.
Published: In What Ifs? of American History: Eminent Historians Imagine What
Might Have Might Have Been (ed. Robert Cowley), q.v.
