27 oct 1962 año - An American pilot flies off course into Soviet airspace

Descripción:

Charles Maultsby, an American pilot, gets lost flying a mission to Alaska and ends up in Soviet airspace. An American jet rescues him and leads him back to the U.S. before the Soviets can shoot his plane down

This I do not think changed the conflict in any way or benefit either side, it just showed that Americans were quite skilled and that they were quite quick in action.
