How did the United States find out about Russian nuclear missiles being sent to Cuba in 1962?
The year is 1962. USAF U-2 spy planes discover that the USSR is placing nuclear ballistic missiles in Cuba. The Chiefs of Staff warn President Kennedy and his cabinet that the missiles have the potential to kill up to 80 million Americans, and destroy a large number of USAF bases - thus crippling the Americans' ability to retaliate and leaving the country an easy target.
