Can’t Get to the Battlefield to Seize Control of the Air? You Need FIGHTer TOW (FIGHT-TOW)

2. 1961 Problem: Cuban Exile Assault Brigade 2506 has no Fighter Planes that can Reach from Nicaragua…let alone fly back...
We supply them B-26 Invader light bombers but rear guns had to be removed to save weight for fuel to reach Cuba...

3. 1961 Disaster: We all Know What Happened Next--the 2506 Invaders were
not allowed to finish-off Castro’s fast prop-plane SeaFury and T-33 jets on-the-
ground--which then proceeded to shoot down the B-26s in-the-air and sink 2
cargo ships damning the invasion to run out of ammo and
be forced to surrender...

4. Brigade 2506 Had C-54 and C-46 Transport
Planes that could have TOWED F-86 Sabre
Fighters to Cuba...

6. BDE 2506 F-86 Sabres Would Rule Skies Over Cuba!

7. Brigade 2506 F-86
Pilots Could Then Land
at the Giron’ Air Strip

To Refuel, Re-Arm
and Keep Air Supremacy
