Babe Triscaro Cleveland Teamsters Boss Contraband Military Aircraft Merchant

Babe Triscaro was a pugilist who won a Gold Gloves boxing title as a flyweight in 1931. He became an important figure in the Teamsters Union, rising to the second ranking position in the state of Ohio. My e-book discusses Babe's contraband venture, specifically his attempted sale of military planes to the Communist Cuban government in 1959. Triscaro initiated a deal to sell as many as eleven surplus Globemasters to Cuba shortly after the overthrow of Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista.
