Four Alabama Air National Guard pilots who were in Nicaragua secretly training the ani-Castro Cubans ignored Kennedy's order to stand down and took off in two B-26s to attack Cuba. They inflicted a lot of damage they were shot down and killed.

At first it wasn't known if the men were dead or captured.

The Kennedys wanted them dead, to not have another Gary Powers incident. Bobby said to CIA officer Richard Bissell at the time, "Those American pilots had better g*****ned well be dead."

God bless those brave pilots.

God's will be done with the Kennedy bros.
