My great-uncle was one of the guys who flew under the radar and snapped pictures here, if someone wants to look into it and maybe add his name somewhere. Here's an article.

Italy
The article is not consistent about Italy. The fifth paragraph from the top says there has been debate about Italy. The box on the right treats it as certain that Italy was involved. 2A00:23C7:99A5:9E01:B5EE:EEE7:8444:69BF (talk) 11:08, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
- The missiles in Italy were dismantled afterwards, whether or not it was part of a direct agreement between Kennedy and Khrushchev. (Aardi18 (talk) 15:00, 6 October 2023 (UTC))
Assassination of John F. Kennedy
Under Aftermath –> U.S. leadership, I find it weird that it isn't mentioned that Kennedy was assassinated a year later while still in office. Especially when the text just suddenly refers to "president Lyndon B. Johnson" without giving context. I've for this reason tried to add the below sentence about Kennedy's assassination. A source is needed and it can be improved.
As Kennedy would be assassinated on 22 November 1963 during as visit to Texas, vice president Lyndon B. Johnson assumed the presidency on the same day to which he would remain until January 1969 when succeed by Richard Nixon.
Grumman S-2 Tracker story
From the current article: "While surfacing, the B-59 “came under machine-gun fire from [U.S. ASW S-2] Tracker aircraft." This is doubtful. Grumman S-2s in US Navy service were not armed with integral machine guns, and there is no evidence that they were ever armed with podded machine guns:
"The Tracker had an internal torpedo bay capable of carrying two lightweight aerial torpedoes or one nuclear depth charge. There were six underwing hard points for rocket pods and conventional depth charges or up to four additional torpedoes." - from Template:Slink
Either the aircraft was misidentified or else the shooting never happened. Now, that's not to say that the Soviet crew made up this story, it is possible they imagined a shooting due to the psychological pressure they were under, and that possibility alone is a pertinent part of the story.

- Decided that this text was both mature and unlikely to be better documented in the future. Therefore, I decided to remove the dubious template and replace it with most of this talk page text in a footnote. Given the facts in the quoted text from the Grumman S-2 Tracker article it should be covered by WP:Obvious. Tfdavisatsnetnet (talk) 19:35, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
