A US accusation against Raúl Castro has brought attention to a family's claim regarding the death of an American pilot in Cuba. The pilot, Rafael del Pino Siero, was reportedly betrayed by Fidel Castro, who had previously been his friend. Del Pino's daughter, Milagros María Suárez del Pino, remembers her father through photographs and other mementos.
Del Pino was captured in Cuba in 1959, after the Cuban Revolution. His daughter was not yet born at the time. Further details about the circumstances of his capture and death are available from the source.
The accusation against Raúl Castro has revived the family's claim, with Milagros seeking to remember her father as a kind and passionate man who served in the US Army as a pilot.
