What was it that really prevented Jack Kennedy from going all in during the Bay of Pigs?

Me neither, very odd, I try and communicate with as many Bay of Pigs survivors to capture history. If he was in his 30s in 1961 that would make him 80 something, could he still be alive to tell his story?

But if he wasn't killed, then he must have been returned by Castro at some point. I'm not sure that Castro would have kept quiet about shooting down a US plane during the Bay of Pigs, either. Can you imagine the possibilities to embarrass the US, as with the shooting down of Powers in 1960? A U-2 was shot down by the Cubans during the Missile Crisis, and it wasn't a secret.

Castro really hasn't said anything, you'll find the shooting down of that U2 along with the B-26s in volume one of the Bay of Pigs, we still haven't read volume five yet, and what they're hiding. I miss understood the story, and I apologize for that. The Skyhawk wasn't shot-down in Cuba, it was wounded over Cuba, and the pilot ejected, but not over Dallas Texas. He was a mile from the USS Essex and knew his plane would not make its landing.

Another thing, the US government contends there were a total of (16) B-26s destroyed by Castro's army, again, that's not true, there was a total of (19) planes destroyed by Castro. Could this be the reason for secrecy from the crew aboard the ship Essex?

Edited.
