Bay of Pigs Invasion

Airdrops From four C-54s and 2 C-46s had Failled

Monday Apr 17, 1961
Playa Larga, Cuba

During the night of 17–18 April, the force at Red Beach came under repeated counter-attacks from the Cuban Army and militia. As casualties mounted and ammunition was used up, the brigadistas steadily gave way. Airdrops from four C-54s and 2 C-46s had only limited success in landing more ammunition.
