Infos

Savannah is known for its Victorian-style homes, lovely squares, society balls, and colorful people. One such notable Savannahian is Robert "e;Reds"e; Helmey.On Super Bowl Sunday in 1969, the day Joe Namath was picking apart the Baltimore Colts' seemingly invincible secondary defense, Reds Helmey was hijacking a United Airlines flight to Havana. Acting as a lone ranger, this former Green Beret was bent on a mission to single-handedly pick through a myriad of personal security defenses to get Fidel Castro. On January 11, Reds boarded a commercial 727 from Miami and forced its pilot to fly to Cuba. As the jet approached Havana, he had the pilot send a transmission to flight control.The actual radio transmission to air traffic control at Havana's Jose Marti Airport was, "e;Tell Fidel El Rojo is coming."e;"e;Overwhelming patriotism of a citizen soldier. Reds would go the extra miles for his country; he just had his own way of doing things and I'm glad he did."e;-Curtis E. Harper, LTC USAR, Ret.Ex-Marine, Ranger Tab, Special Forces Tab, Master Parachutist, and decorated Vietnam combat veteran"e;An assassination plot [one of many, as documented by former contract agents of CIA] against Fidel Castro was spawned by CIA in 1969, using a special forces operative, Reds Helmey."e;-Barbara HartwellFormer CIA Psychological Operations"e;Helmey kept belief in 'CIA Plot.'"e;-Corbett H. ThigpenPsychiatrist and coauthor of The Three Faces of Eve"e;A reader could easily conclude that the author's fascinating life and exciting reflections are fiction. Not so! Reds is a unique and patriotic American who has lived a life that many would envy. I have known him for over sixty years, and the book represents the Reds Helmey I know!"e;-Frank W. "e;Sonny"e; SeilerTrial Attorney over fifty years, former president of the State Bar of Georgia, and past president of the University of Georgia National Alumni Association"e;I found the story fascinating!"e;-John BerendtAuthor of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"e;Reds has a good sense of character and dialogue.
