15 Okt 1962 Jahr - A U2 spyplane discovers missiles in Cuba

Beschreibung:

Air Force Pilot Richard Heyser flies a spyplane over Cuba and takes photos of Russian medium-range missiles. Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev has asked Cuba President Fidel Castro if he could put them there in May.

This is an advantage to the Americans because they managed to get information on what was happening on the other side which could then help them decide on what to do next cautiously.
