Overview

Enjoy one of the most fascinating and least known stories of Cuban aviation. In ""Alert One - The MiG-15 in Cuba"", we reveal the thrilling arrival of Soviet fighter jets on the island, beginning in 1961. The legendary MiG-15, the first of the Mikoyan-Gurevich fighter family to soar over Caribbean skies, marked the starting point of a long history that spanned decades. This book is a journey into the past through the eyes of its protagonists: Pilots, technicians, and navigators trained in accelerated courses in Cuba, the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, and China. Through their unpublished testimonies, we recover little-known and rarely shared moments of complex missions, combat incidents, daring maneuvers, and the challenges of operating such advanced military aviation technology. Illustrated with numerous photographs-many of them previously unpublished-contributed by those who lived this fascinating history or their families, the book details essential elements for identifying Cuban MiG-15 fighters and the young aviators who, in those days, made their dream of conquering the Caribbean sky a reality.
