The CIA believed they had wiped out Castro&#8217;s air force.<\/p>\n<p>On April 16, at the funeral of seven victims of the bombing, Fidel Castro announces: &#8220;What the imperialists cannot forgive is the triumph of a socialist revolution right under the nose of the United States.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It was the first time he publicly characterized his revolution as &#8220;socialist,&#8221; a fact that would become more obvious in the future.<\/p>\n<p>The next day, Monday, April 17 at 1:15 am, some 1,400 anti-Castro Cubans from &#8220;Brigade 2506,&#8221; who had been trained in secret camps by the CIA, landed at the Bay of Pigs, less than 200 kilometers (120 miles) south of Havana.<\/p>\n<p>Offshore, eight ships headed to establish a beachhead. However, nine aircraft from the remains of Castro&#8217;s air force took off, attacking one ship and sinking another. The other freighters headed back to sea.<\/p>\n<p>In the sky, Castro&#8217;s T-33 aircraft shot down two B-26 bombers, killing four American pilots. The Cuban air force lost four aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>On the ground, the element of surprise had evaporated. The invasion was &#8220;an open secret,&#8221; said Cuba&#8217;s then interior minister Ramiro Valdes as 200,000 militia members prepared for battle.<\/p>\n<p>Castro arrived to direct the operations. Fierce fighting lasted for two days.<\/p>\n<p>Lacking support, the &#8220;mercenaries&#8221; surrendered on April 19. There were 1,189 prisoners. Among the invaders, 107 were killed. Castro&#8217;s forces suffered 161 losses.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, a nationwide police sweep led to the arrest of some 100,000 Cubans, including 35,000 in Havana.<\/p>\n<p>Captured combatants were exhibited on television. Five would be executed, nine sentenced to 30 years in prison, the others released in December 1962 in exchange for $53 million worth of medicine and food.<\/p>\n<p>In Havana, Castro savored his triumph. In Washington, it was a catastrophe.<\/p>\n<p>Historians say President John F. Kennedy condemned the operation to failure in advance by refusing to give it military support. He was assassinated just two years later in 1963.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HAVANA, Cuba, Nov 26 &#8211; America&#8217;s failure to overthrow Fidel Castro during the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion lionized the Cuban leader in his country as a leftist David battling an imperialist Goliath.
