Did eisenhower know about the U2 incident?

Yes, President Dwight D. Eisenhower was aware of the U-2 incident shortly after it occurred. On May 1, 1960, a U-2 spy plane was shot down over Soviet airspace, and the pilot, Francis Gary Powers, was captured. Initially, the U.S. government attempted to deny the mission, but Eisenhower later had to acknowledge the operation when the Soviets produced evidence of the plane and its pilot. The incident strained U.S.-Soviet relations and complicated diplomatic efforts.
