Is there any info on the web where one can find which AF Tactical Fighter
units deployed to Florida for the Cuban Missile Crisis? I know the 4th TFW
with F-105s was at Patrick AFB, and there were F-100s at Homestead, but which
units? Also, the 12th and 15th TFWs wit F-84Fs were at McDill AFB. But who
else was at Eglin, Opa-Locka, McCoy, etc? TIA.

is fairly complete. It's the Strike elements only, though - it
doesn't cover the Air Defence COmmand (Including Air National Guard)
assets which were either based in the area, or deployed to teh area
during the Crisis.
