I would like information about the death of Camilo Cienfuegos, a
Comandante during the Cuban Revolution. It is claimed by some that his
plane was shot down by a Cuban MiG, but others claim that he was
simply the victim of bad weather. I would like sources and/or
arguments for both if possible.

Also, if possible, is it known where Cienfuegos?s remains may lie
today? I know that he officially ?disappeared,? but is there any sort
of speculation as to where?
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

There is an account of the death/murder of Camilo Cienfuegos in 'My
Granny Made Me An Anarchist' by Stuart Christie. According to Captain
Robeto Cardenas, commander of Camaguey Air Base, Fidel Castro - in the
company of Raul Castro - shot Cienfuegos because he refused to
countenance the execution of Comandante Huber Matos, and who was
opposed to the sovietisation of the Cuban revolution. It was
subsequently claimed Cienfuegos, a hero of the Revolution, died
accidentally when his plane was shot down by mistake over the Bahia de
Gloria by a Cuban air force pilot.
