question: Who was an American pilot involved in U-2 incident on May 1?
answer: Francis Gary Powers
context: Title: These Guys Are from England and Who Gives a Shit
  Passage: These Guys Are from England and Who Gives a Shit is the 2001 re-release of the "U2" EP by Negativland.  It contains both tracks from the original EP, plus some tracks from the 1989 "Over the Edge" broadcasts on which the original EP was based, as well as live tracks recorded at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco.  The album was called a "bootleg" and released under "Seelard Records" as a joke, but in fact it was a real release by the band.  Several of the live tracks on the album contain the same samples of a profane Casey Kasem as had appeared on the "U2" EP set to a different musical arrangement, which includes a spoken portion which in part borrows from the lyrics of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction".  Other live tracks made reference to the band's battle with SST Records and to the 1960 U-2 incident.
  Title: Bud Wolfe

  Title: Francis Gary Powers
  Passage: Francis Gary Powers (August 17, 1929 – August 1, 1977) – often referred to as simply Gary Powers – was an American pilot whose Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) U-2 spy plane was shot down while flying a reconnaissance mission in Soviet Union airspace, causing the 1960 U-2 incident.
  Title: Northwest Airlines Flight 188
  Passage: Northwest Airlines Flight 188 was a regularly scheduled flight from San Diego, California, to Minneapolis, Minnesota on October 21, 2009.  The flight landed over one hour late in Minneapolis after overshooting its destination by over 150 miles because of pilot errors.  As a result of this incident, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) revoked the pilot certificates of the involved pilots and the National Transportation Safety Board issued recommendations to Air traffic control procedures and changes in the rules for cockpit crew and air traffic controllers.  The incident also caused American lawmakers to move to prevent pilots on U.S. airliners from using electronic devices while taxiing or flying.  Changes to flight deck automation have also been suggested as a result of the incident and prototype designs that could mitigate errors leading to similar incidents have been described.
  Title: Sergei Safronov (fighter pilot)

"Tuck" Smith (October 29, 1915 in Mayview, Missouri – May 16, 2006 in Friday Harbor, Washington) was an American pilot who spotted the German battleship "Bismarck" prior to its being sunk by British naval and air forces.

  Title: Tony Jannus
  Passage: Antony Habersack Jannus, more familiarly known as Tony Jannus (July 22, 1889 – October 12, 1916), was an early American pilot whose aerial exploits were widely publicized in aviation's pre-World War I period.  He flew the first airplane from which a parachute jump was made, in 1912.  Jannus was also the first airline pilot, having pioneered the inaugural flight of the St. Petersburg–Tampa Airboat Line on January 1, 1914, the first scheduled commercial airline flight in the world using heavier-than-air aircraft.  The "Tony Jannus Award", created to perpetuate his legacy, recognizes outstanding individual achievement in the scheduled commercial aviation industry and is conferred annually by the Tony Jannus Distinguished Aviation Society founded in Tampa, Florida, in 1963.
  Title: David Ferrie
  Passage: David William Ferrie (March 28, 1918 – February 22, 1967) was an American pilot who was alleged by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison to have been involved in a conspiracy to assassinate President John F. Kennedy.  Garrison also alleged that Ferrie knew Lee Harvey Oswald.  Ferrie denied any involvement in a conspiracy and said he never knew Oswald.  Decades later, photos emerged establishing that Ferrie had been in the same Civil Air Patrol unit as Oswald in the 1950s, but critics have argued this does not prove that either Ferrie or Oswald was involved in an assassination plot.
