    Hm, I like the story of the U-2 better, in which Kelly Johnson, the plane’s designer, tells the CIA the Soviets won’t be able to shoot it down BUT that they are massively ramping up their capabilities and will have caught up by 1960. The plane was eventually shot down on May 1, 1960 to the great embarrassment of president Eisenhower.

    Happy May Day, Mr. Krushchev!
