On a more serious note, can anyone tell me why after I posted the USS Essex roster 1961, none of the pilots that flew the A4-Skyhawks are listed on the roster? Now, that's interesting. Perhaps, only the twelve that flew including the ships captain and or admiral knew about the flying missions over Cuba and no one else aboard the ship knew anything?
Were these orders approved by Kennedy to do these fly byes over Cuba? If so, why would Kennedy allow for that to happen if he said there would be no American military intervention, well, may be the United States didn't get involved, but in a sense, weren't they provoking the issue? And, Kennedy knew?
Just asking questions.
