Kennedy, eager to limit U.S. involvement in the plot, made clear that he would allow only eight planes to provide air cover not enough to knock out Castro's air force and would under no circumstances order U.S. Air Force planes to support them.

Lets read that again shall we? "Kennedy, eager to limit U.S. involvement in the plot, made clear that he would allow only eight planes to provide air cover," however, we now know that those eight planes were increased to twelve in total. Kennedy then had second thoughts about the "air cover," had the A4 Skyhawks involved in firing back at Castro's T-33's then how could Kennedy explain no American involvement? You see, what you will find in the fifth volume of the Bay of Pigs is that Kennedy asked Bundy to place a call to the CIA having the A4 Skyhawks to stand down, however, the call came in late, lucky the Skyhawks arrived an hour late right? Now, can you imagine had the Skyhawks involved themselves and engaged Castro's T-33's?

What would Russia have done? How could Kennedy explain his public announcement of no american military involvement, and then the Skyhawks shot-down all of Castro's planes? And, the truth shall set me free!
