USAF - Cuban Missile Crisis
During the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, the U.S. Air Force (USAF) played a critical role in discovering, monitoring, and preparing to neutralize Soviet nuclear missile sites in Cuba. USAF U-2 spy planes provided photographic evidence of the missiles, while Tactical Air Command prepared for massive airstrikes, and Strategic Air Command (SAC) raised its readiness to DEFCON 2, placing bombers on airborne alert.
