| Summary: | Ripped Apart Volume 1 provides an even-handed and richly illustrated account of the military history of Cyprus between independence from Britain and the events of 1964. Describing the tensions that emerged between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots through the 1960s, Ripped Apart helps to provide a better understanding of a conflict that remains highly controversial. Volume 1 examines the local military build-up and a series of armed clashes that shook the island in 1964, and lays much of the background to the events that would follow in the 1970s. |

One of the jets in question is visible in the foreground. Upon reaching the island, they were intercepted by English Electric Lighting F.Mk 3 interceptors of No. 111 Squadron, Royal Air Force, one of which is visible in the background. Careful manoeuvring by British pilots successfully frustrated most of the Greek attempts to photograph their targets: only one RF-84F returned with images that were clear enough to interpret.

RIPPED APART VOLUME 1: THE CYPRUS CRISIS 1963-64 CONCLUSION In conclusion, the Akritas Plan, as pursued by Makarios and his aides with support from Athens, failed. Principally due to its plotters underestimating Turkish Cypriot strength and resolve but also because they - and the Greek government - thought that Ankara’s threat with intervention was a bluff. The fighting of 1964 thus ended without an expulsion of the Turkish Cypriot community, without its subjection to the Greek rule, and without enosis: indeed, without resolving any of the outstanding issues between the two communities and leaving a blazing trail of bitter hatred in its wake. The crisis thus went on and within the following years, was to bring Greece and Turkey to the brink of war at least two additional times; these stories are going to be covered in subsequent volumes of this mini-series.

Burr et all, The Jupiter Missiles and the Endgame of the Cuban Missile Crisis Criss, ‘Strategic Nuclear Missiles in Turkey’. According to recollections of one of US Air Force officers deployed in Turkey at the time, provided in the course of an e-mail exchange in 2005 on condition of anonymity, soon after the installation of Jupiters in Turkey, the Soviet Air Force deployed a ‘MiG’ fighter jet in a clandestine effort to photograph the facility. The aircraft in question reached the site undisturbed and made a pass, but then crashed, killing its pilot. An inspection of the wreckage and cameras revealed that it captured very good photographs of the site, at least comparable to those taken by US aircraft over Cuba in September-October 1962. That said, and while such an effort almost certainly took place, considering the distance of Izmir from nearest air bases in Bulgaria or the USSR, it is unlikely that the aircraft in question was a MiG: fighter jets of types available at the time - like MiG-15, MiG-17, MiG-19, and MiG-21 - would have lacked the range necessary for such an operation from bases in Bulgaria or south-western USSR. Therefore, it is certain that the Soviets deployed a different type for this purpose but this was then mis-identified as a ‘MiG’. Dupuy et all, pp.92-93 117-119.

The ‘Parnitha’ radar station was operated by the RHAF. The unit in question was established in Kavouri, outside Athens, in 1955 and initially equipped with US-made TPS-1E and TPS-10D early warning radars. In May 1958, it was re-equipped with FPS-8 sets, supported by FPS-6 height-finding radars and then established a station at Karavola, on Mount Parnitha, which resulted in its calls-sign. Notably, the unit in question remains on this
site until today - of course, re-equipped with modern systems.

Notably, considering the distance from Eskisehir to Cyprus and Crete, Kalenterides' testimony is rather questionable, or there is a big problem with all of available translations of it. At least it is highly questionable if Töpel would have taken-off for a mission to attack Greek Cypriot patrol boats off the coast of Cyprus, with Souda AB as ‘alternative’ target. At most, it is possible that the flight plan the Greeks reported to have found in Töpel's flight suit was that for an alternative operation, not for an alternative target. This discrepancy was never
reasonably explained by any of available Greek sources. Yellice, ‘The American Intervention in the 1964 Cyprus Crisis’ Nikolajsen, interview, 08/2005. Mitsainas, Hellenic Wings over Cyprus, p.87. JATO stood for ‘jet-assisted take off’, even though - more precisely - it was ‘rocket assisted take-off’. Essentially, it consisted 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. of attaching booster rockets under the rear fuselage to achieve a quicker take-off, especially of fully loaded aircraft on much too short runways. Once the aircraft was airborne, rockets were ejected. As it turned out, the commander of the RHAF detachment forward deployed at Maritsa airfield on Rhodes was expecting a formation of RHAF T-6s (see below for details) to appear and waiting for them - instead for F-84Fs. Therefore, he was instructed to create a pretext for temporarily closing the runway of his facility, which he did, citing a failure of the runway lighting. Ironically, while forcing F-84Fs to return to Crete on last drops of fuel, this act enabled the following T-6s to proceed precisely along the plan. Moreover, the commander of the Ziros/Sitia radar station on Rhodes (operated by the 3rd Aera Control Centre), was informed that the Τ-6-mission was about to take place but did not expect his system to detect their low altitude approach. In order to avoid any kind of collision, he was instructed to divert any approaching aircraft away. Therefore, even if Louloudakis would have contacted the tower, he would not receive a permission to land at Maritsa. Mitsainas, Hellenic Wings over Cyprus, p.83. Ibid., p.87. Ibid.,

For example, about 5,000 Turkish Cypriots left the Nicosia suburb of Omorphita, for safer parts of the city.

One of the jets in question is visible in the foreground. Upon reaching the island, they were intercepted by English Electric Lighting F.Mk 3 interceptors of No. 111 Squadron, Royal Air Force, one of which is visible in the background. Careful manoeuvring by British pilots successfully frustrated most of the Greek attempts to photograph their targets: only one RF-84F returned with images that were clear enough to interpret.

RIPPED APART VOLUME 1: THE CYPRUS CRISIS 1963-64 CONCLUSION In conclusion, the Akritas Plan, as pursued by Makarios and his aides with support from Athens, failed. Principally due to its plotters underestimating Turkish Cypriot strength and resolve but also because they - and the Greek government - thought that Ankara’s threat with intervention was a bluff. The fighting of 1964 thus ended without an expulsion of the Turkish Cypriot community, without its subjection to the Greek rule, and without enosis: indeed, without resolving any of the outstanding issues between the two communities and leaving a blazing trail of bitter hatred in its wake. The crisis thus went on and within the following years, was to bring Greece and Turkey to the brink of war at least two additional times; these stories are going to be covered in subsequent volumes of this mini-series.

Burr et all, The Jupiter Missiles and the Endgame of the Cuban Missile Crisis Criss, ‘Strategic Nuclear Missiles in Turkey’. According to recollections of one of US Air Force officers deployed in Turkey at the time, provided in the course of an e-mail exchange in 2005 on condition of anonymity, soon after the installation of Jupiters in Turkey, the Soviet Air Force deployed a ‘MiG’ fighter jet in a clandestine effort to photograph the facility. The aircraft in question reached the site undisturbed and made a pass, but then crashed, killing its pilot. An inspection of the wreckage and cameras revealed that it captured very good photographs of the site, at least comparable to those taken by US aircraft over Cuba in September-October 1962. That said, and while such an effort almost certainly took place, considering the distance of Izmir from nearest air bases in Bulgaria or the USSR, it is unlikely that the aircraft in question was a MiG: fighter jets of types available at the time - like MiG-15, MiG-17, MiG-19, and MiG-21 - would have lacked the range necessary for such an operation from bases in Bulgaria or south-western USSR. Therefore, it is certain that the Soviets deployed a different type for this purpose but this was then mis-identified as a ‘MiG’. Dupuy et all, pp.92-93 117-119.

The ‘Parnitha’ radar station was operated by the RHAF. The unit in question was established in Kavouri, outside Athens, in 1955 and initially equipped with US-made TPS-1E and TPS-10D early warning radars. In May 1958, it was re-equipped with FPS-8 sets, supported by FPS-6 height-finding radars and then established a station at Karavola, on Mount Parnitha, which resulted in its calls-sign. Notably, the unit in question remains on this
site until today - of course, re-equipped with modern systems.

Notably, considering the distance from Eskisehir to Cyprus and Crete, Kalenterides' testimony is rather questionable, or there is a big problem with all of available translations of it. At least it is highly questionable if Töpel would have taken-off for a mission to attack Greek Cypriot patrol boats off the coast of Cyprus, with Souda AB as ‘alternative’ target. At most, it is possible that the flight plan the Greeks reported to have found in Töpel's flight suit was that for an alternative operation, not for an alternative target. This discrepancy was never
reasonably explained by any of available Greek sources. Yellice, ‘The American Intervention in the 1964 Cyprus Crisis’ Nikolajsen, interview, 08/2005. Mitsainas, Hellenic Wings over Cyprus, p.87. JATO stood for ‘jet-assisted take off’, even though - more precisely - it was ‘rocket assisted take-off’. Essentially, it consisted 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. of attaching booster rockets under the rear fuselage to achieve a quicker take-off, especially of fully loaded aircraft on much too short runways. Once the aircraft was airborne, rockets were ejected. As it turned out, the commander of the RHAF detachment forward deployed at Maritsa airfield on Rhodes was expecting a formation of RHAF T-6s (see below for details) to appear and waiting for them - instead for F-84Fs. Therefore, he was instructed to create a pretext for temporarily closing the runway of his facility, which he did, citing a failure of the runway lighting. Ironically, while forcing F-84Fs to return to Crete on last drops of fuel, this act enabled the following T-6s to proceed precisely along the plan. Moreover, the commander of the Ziros/Sitia radar station on Rhodes (operated by the 3rd Aera Control Centre), was informed that the Τ-6-mission was about to take place but did not expect his system to detect their low altitude approach. In order to avoid any kind of collision, he was instructed to divert any approaching aircraft away. Therefore, even if Louloudakis would have contacted the tower, he would not receive a permission to land at Maritsa. Mitsainas, Hellenic Wings over Cyprus, p.83. Ibid., p.87. Ibid.,
p.89. According to Roulias’ logbook two of the RF-84Fs participating on the mission were #740 and #588 (Sergios Papasis, interview with Dimitris Vassilopoulos, 01/2023). TNA, Part I to COS 50th meeting, DEFE 4:173, (August 1964). Ill Squadron Operational Record Book, August 1964. Not all the displacements were long-distance. For example, about 5,000 Turkish Cypriots left the Nicosia suburb of Omorphita, for safer parts of the city.
