John Martino was a friend of mine. Although I can not say he was CIA 'per se' he was associated with Cuban operations connected with the CIA's covert operations and was more inline with WAVE Station and their Military Intel branch. Their operations were more in line with Intel on what the Cubans were up to and counter Intel objectives.
Some in CIA viewed Martino as a planted informat to keep an eye on the Cuban underground that was filtering into the Miami area. They saw Martino as a militarty feild operative associated with the CIA's "off the books" operations.., known as the CAG Covert Action Group (CAG) or in other circles as (COG) Covert Operational Group. I was an associate of Martino and worked within the supply operations to anti-Castro groups at Coral Gables Florida. Two "independent groups" of which I remember were Alpha-66 and Omega -7. I was a pilot for some of those personal and their associations with the CIA and Miami Station. These were mostly Under Cover Ops for Military Intel from the Pentagon and not CIA.
