Field notes
The chronology places the missile discovery on 14 October, Kennedy’s briefing on 16 October, and the quarantine lift on 20 November, showing that implementation continued after the withdrawal agreement. The homepage identifies its reconnaissance photograph as a US government image held by the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum and links to a source record. Topics include the Thor missile sites and RAF missile stations.
