There was never a mission planned for the second day to strike the 
airbases. The first strike was two days before the day of the invasion. 
The second strike was scheduled for D-Day. Kennedy cancelled that one. But 
then reinstated it for late Monday/early Tuesday morning. You have not 
bothered to read the official CIA history. Even that history makes the 
same mistake you do about confusing the air cover with the airstrike on 
Castro's airfields.

But in discussing what strikes did go forward the official history 
accidentally mentions that the second airstrike WAS launched late Monday 
night.

                            "It was not until near
midnight Monday and before dawn on Tuesday morning
(18 April) that the abortive reattacks were launched."

So the CIA admits in its own official history that JFK authorized a second 
airstrike against Castro's airfields, but the B-26s were not able to find 
their targets. So it's a LIE for the CIA apologists to claim that there 
was no second airstrike. Kennedy was not the pilot so don't blame him for 
the failure of that mission. So, once again, who the Hell are YOU to call 
the CIA liars? They say in print that the second airstrike was launched.

One of several missions which did go ahead. Also attacking Castro's tanks.

Do you understand that the failed mission that I discussed was also to 
protect the invasion forces on the beach and at sea?
