In late September, avoiding known SAM sites, U-2s twice flew over eastern Cuba, the Isle of Pines, and a portion of western Cuba. These were supplemented by other missions along the island’s periphery.

Photointerpreters studying the pictures of the SAM installations noticed the same trapezoidal pattern that U-2 cameras had found around missile bases in the Soviet Union. The center of the trapezoid was San Cristóbal in western Cuba. Two U-2 flights over eastern Cuba during the first week of October found no strategic missiles. The President ordered a dangerous run over western Cuba, but for days bad weather kept the spy planes grounded.
