Feifer, George. "If the U-2 Hadn't Flown"
Divergence: 1960 CE
What if: The 24th U-2 overflight had never flown or the U.S. had adopted a different response when it was shot down.
Summary: Article detailing the flight's history and how it obstructed potential improvement of US-Soviet relations when Eisenhower and Krushchev met two weeks later. But despite asking several what-if questions contains almost no allohistorical speculation.
