Soviet Navy submarine B-59 near Cuba with a U.S. Navy helicopter circling above, circa October 28–29, 1962. On the 27th the world came very,
very close to nuclear war.

My uncle was a plane captain aboard USS Enterprise, planes fueled and bombed up perched on the catapults. Pilots in the cockpits. He said the pilots never treated him more politely.

Although aware of the Cuban emergency, I was not aware of how serious. I went to monthly drill (USAFR) and ALL of our C-119s were gone. I asked Sgt Roselle where they were and he said, as if I were from another planet, "They're in Florida." We now know that the Russians in Cuba were armed with tactical nukes to be used if invaded. The paratroops would have met this if the C-119s got that far inland.

In Germany our Corporal missile unit deployed into the field ready to engage. Leaving our Babenhausen Kaserne, we placed demolition charges as we did not know if we were coming back.
