Department of Manuscripts and Archives</dc:creator><dc:date>1959 October</dc:date><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:language>spa</dc:language><dc:description>Images of protestors blocking traffic on Calle Línea in el Vedado (frames 28-30, 31-33, 35-36) and the Malecón of Havana (frames 19-24, 16-18, 25-27) in response to the Cuban government's announcement that Pedro Díaz Lanz, the head of Cuba's revolutionary Air Force who had defected to Miami in June of 1959, had carried out a leafletting air raid over Havana and that subsequent encounters with Cuban jets resulted in damage to buildings below, allegedly by bombs dropped from his plane. Díaz Lanz eventually landed again at a base in Florida. The Cuban government called this incursion on their airspace for terroristic purposes, "Havana's Pearl Harbor." Frames 4-9 show a private car with a sign on the windshield that reads "Partieron de Estados Unidos los aviones." The air raid took place on October 20, the same day that Commander Huber Matos was arrested for treason, so these pictures were probably later that same day or the following day.
