(1) On October 14, 1962, an American U-2 reconnaissance aircraft flew over the province of San Cristobal in Cuba on a rou­tine mission to gather data. The pictures the aircraft took of the ground disclosed develop­ments that were far from routine. The photos revealed Soviet efforts to install approximately forty nuclear missiles, each capable of devas­tating an American city.

Since Cuban leader Fidel Castro’s first appeals to Moscow in 1960, U.S. officials had repeatedly warned the Soviets against attempt­ing to put missiles in Cuba. The Soviets had assured the United States Led by John Kennedy that they had no intention of giving the Cubans nuclear mis­siles. They pledged that Cuba would receive only nonnuclear weapons to defend the island from attack.
