mismanagement, overconfidence, and lack of
security. The blame for the failure of the
operation falls directly in the lap of the Central
Intelligence Agency and a young president and his
advisors. The fall out from the invasion caused a
rise in tension between the two great superpowers
and ironically 34 years after the event, the
person that the invasion meant to topple, Fidel
Castro, is still in powe...

communication with each other. This serves as a
proof that the planes only require their positions
to prevent collisio...
