Definitely a piece of History: The remains of the U-2 which was shooted down by a SA-2 missile in Oct 27, 1962 near Banes, Cuba during the relevant international ICBM missile crisis. USAF pilot Maj. Rudolf Anderson was killed in action. This photo is copyright © T.Laurent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
