Cuban Eight 'invented' by Len Povey at Miami Air Show in 1933 when he fell out of a loop, Jimmy Doolittle asked him "What the hell was that?" he replied " a Cuban Eight" flying a 800 HP Curtiss 'Cuban' Hawk
My Father was the other half of the Cuban Airforce back then...
thanks for your comments! I'm glad to see, that the title of my clip caused you to remember your fathers aviation carreer. Did you follow in his footsteps?

I got seaplane rating years ago will buy a Seamax if I win the lottery. had an L-19 and Cardinal partnership, 10 years ago was at Allliance Airport Airshow with my grandson and was telling him the story of the Cuban Eight and his great grandpa when the announcer came on and told the same story! recently he said he doesnt remember that, oh well
