Front: Camilo Cienfuegos (1932-1959), Cuban revolutionary
Cienfuegos joined Fidel Castro's revolution at a young age. He rose from an
undisciplined fighter to a brilliant, disciplined captain of the point platoon,
the most dangerous position in the war. He commanded a 700-man force of the
Rebel Army, successfully attacking government troops in Camagüey and Las Villas.
Within a year after their victory, Camilo's plane mysteriously disappeared over
the ocean during a night flight from Camagüey to Havana on October 28 1959.
