Here’s a compromise - we’ll keep “Lee” on the list, but change it to “Lee Harvey Oswald”.

A fellow I know not prone to rash accusations claimed that Oswald, while in the Soviet Union, explained to them how to shoot-down a U2.

Then, a few months later, down came Francis Gary Powers.

Works for me. Oswald was scum.

I find that a bit far-fetched. Oswald was a Marine infantryman. Just how in the heck would he have known how to shoot down a high flying U2? I know Marine sharpshooters are good — but not THAT good.

Also, I note the Walkers are not on this list. And they should be.

A fellow I know not prone to rash accusations claimed that Oswald, while in the Soviet Union, explained to them how to shoot-down a U2.

The story I heard was that U2s were being regularly shot down, but the pilots died. This information was suppressed by the government and new volunteers were constantly recruited to fly over the Soviet Union.

Powers put the kibosh on the whole scheme by being shot down, but surviving.
