oct 19, 1962 - Things are already moving in Cuba

Description:

The Soviets are already preparing more missile sites. The U-2 captures these images and they are shared with Kenned by Ex Comm and his Joint Chief of Staff - more defense advisors to the President. They all advise that bombing the missile positions is quickly becoming the best option they have. Pressure is mounting and they (think) they need to act.
