Keeping the various aircraft that entered the scene in Florida properly identified -- Zuniga's B-26 at Miami, which was part of the D-2 deception story, the Brigade B-26 which had been shot up during the D-2 strike and was forced to make an emergency land- ing in Key West at the Boca Chica Naval Air Station, and the aircraft which the defecting Verdaguer brothers had landed at Jacksonville on 14 April -- has added further confusion to the Bay of Pigs story. Accord- ing to Schlesinger, Secretary Rusk: Seems for a while to have confused the phony defector at Key West, with the authentic defector at Jacksonville. Ap- parently it was not until late Saturday afternoon that he understood that the Key West plane was part of the CIA plot. 105/ As just indicated, the B-26 that landed at Key West was not a part of any intended "CIA plot," and the deception effort concerned Zuniga's landing at Miami not the Verdaguers\ landing at Jacksonville. Schlesinger then made a most unwarranted charge against the Agency stating: biographer, says Cleveland told him (Johnson) that he had given the story to Stevenson. 103/ The author did not contact Clayton Fritchey, the only other person who might be knowledgeable about the Barnes-Stevenson meeting on 8 April 1961 because of Fritchey's journalistic interests. 104/ - 262 - .
