Franco's Spain was also our covert ally during the Cold War and provided bases for our B-45 and B-47 bombers. Our bases had to fly the Spanish flag and were kept discreet. The huge US base at Torrejón de Ardoz , outside Madrid, was marked by a sign reading simply Base Aerea (air base) that pointed down a two-lane road.

I would take Franco Spain over limp wristed terrorist appeasing Spain of today.
