Myra,
Yes, I think it was Felipe Vidal Santiago. I also submit that Vidal was the one who instigated the plot that was to ultimately become the operation in Dallas.
In addition, I think that when one is researching DCM, one must factor in his visibility, he proximity to the actual shooting and if he is directing a coordinated crossfire (which I believe he is doing with a series of hand signals) then he would be one very cool customer, one of proven courage in battle and someone the other participants would respect.
In 1963, where the world of anti-Castro politics was fractured and embittered, there was only 2 men who had all the boxes ticked. Vidal was one of them.
FWIW.
BTW, this image below has never before been published. It is Vidal as a very young Naval officer.
