Cuban Pilots Flew 150,000 Jews from Arab States to Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Cuban planes and pilots brought 150,000 Jews to Israel from Iraq, Iran, Yemen and India in 1951-52, the official Cuban newspaper Juventude Rebelde reported Saturday. Since there were no diplomatic relations between Israel and these countries, it was necessary for the aircraft to be from a neutral country. A new air company was established, Aerea de Cuba, headed by Cuban businessman Narciso Otero-Rosello.
