“…60 Cubana occasionally served to transport Cuban soldiers, as it happened in October 1963 to support the Algerian army in the ''Sand war'' against Morocco. 61 Finally, in a context when the main escape to leave Cuba was Madrid and Mexico (1962-65) and after the ''freedom flights '' Varadero-Miami (1965-73), Cubana organised some charter flights to transport Cuban emigrants to Lisbon, Paris or Prague, waiting for a further lift to go to the United States. 62 With the drain of pilots and qualified workers to the United States, Cubana had to form new specialist and implement tactics to keep them in Cuba.…”

This article focuses on the transformation of the carrier Cubana de aviación before and after the 1959 Cuban revolution. By observing Cubana's management, labour force, equipment, international passenger and freight traffic, this article aims to outline an international history of this Latin American flag carrier. The touristic air relationships between the American continent and Spain that could be observed in the 1950s were substituted – in the 1960s and 1970s – by a web of political “líneas de la amistad” [Friendship Flights] with Prague, Santiago de Chile, East Berlin, Lima, Luanda, Managua, Tripoli and Bagdad. This three-decade period allows us to interrogate breaks and continuities in the Cuban airline travel sector and to challenge the traditional interpretations of Cuban history. This work is based on diplomatic and corporative archives from Cuba, United States, Canada, Mexico, Spain and France and the aeronautical international press.

“…Gleijeses, 1996 Gleijeses, /1997 According to Gleijeses' recent archival research, Jorge Risquet, the commander of Cuban forces in the Congo, notified Cabral in September 1966 that Cuban forces would soon be withdrawing from Congo-Brazzaville, offering, "If you want, I can ask Fidel to send them to Guinea-Bissau instead." Cabral, however, declined these offers of support; contrary to other contemporaneous U.S. intelligence reports that assessed the number of Cuban forces in Guinea as being in the hundreds, Gleijseses concludes that the number of Cubans attached to the Cuban Military Mission in Guinea and Guinea-Bissau averaged only about 50 to 60 both in Conakry and at rear bases in Guinea-Bissau.…”
