Allen Lawrence Pope (born 1928) is a retired US military and paramilitary aviator. He rose to international attention as the subject of a diplomatic dispute between the United States and Indonesia after the B-26 Invader aircraft he was piloting in a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) covert operation was shot down over Ambon on 18 May 1958 during the "Indonesian crisis". A native of Miami, Florida, and graduate of the University of Florida, Pope is now retired and lives in the United States. In 2005, France made him a Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur for his service in Indochina.
