Error In Degrees Could Put Winchester In Range Of Cuban Missiles
A former Handley High faculty member computed that Winchester Virginia lies 1139 miles from Havana while Washington is 1145 miles apart making Winchester only six miles closer. An error of 3 degrees 48 minutes to the left on aiming could place a missile in Winchester back yard. Col M B Clowe Jr notes four degree error on first round in artillery would not be severe though missiles use gyros to stay on target. An officer recalls concerns about the so called big missiles from Cuba.
