I lived at Forbes AFB at that year . Dad was in SAC .This is the first I have
heard of this . His generation kept our secrets s3crrt....
I remember one day , dad took me , his 9yr old son out to the flight line at Forbes . That was a BIG thrill . Lined up, as far as I could see , were lined up beautiful ,silver B-47 bombers. He told me “ Son , if Mr. Castri doesn’t back down these planes are ready to go. They will take care if him”
He meant it. We were loaded for bear, Ruskie bear , and those B-47s would have removed Cuba from the face of the earth....
