What happened in 1962 Cuba missile?
Russia had placed missiles in Cuba and JFK warned them to remove the missiles. They couldn't stay since Cuba is only 90 miles from the United States. When Russia refused to remove them Kennedy had the Navy blockade the island and not allow any Russian ships into it's waters. It was a standoff and we got within hours of war, but an agreement was finally made that Russia would remove the missiles.
How did the US discover the missiles?
If you are asking about the missiles in Cuba they were discovered by the use of spy planes and people on the ground. A spy plane flew over and shot pictures of the silos for the missiles. The people on the ground confirmed that they were there. Kennedy told Russia that they had to remove the missiles and the result was the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Why did Khrushchev send a second note to president JFK?
On Friday Oct. 26, 1962 Khrushchev sent two letters to President Kennedy. The first letter was not made public. It was supposedly softer saying Russia would remove its missiles from Cuba if the U.S. would end the quarantine and garantee the U.S. would not invade Cuba. The second letter sounded harsher, seeking the removal of U.S. missiles in Turkey in return for taking Russian missiles out of Cuba.

Did President Kennedy remove nuclear missiles from Turkey to resolve a crisis?
The placement of U.S. nuclear missiles in Turkey is thought to have provoked the Cuban Missile Crisis. Missiles in Turkey were close enough to strike Moscow, so Russia placed armaments in Cuba, which was within striking distance of U.S. soil. The Missile Crisis, began on October 14th 1962. Robert Kennedy said, during negotiations with the Russians that the missiles would be removed within a short time after the crisis ended. The Missile Crisis ended on October 28th of 62 and the missiles were quietly taken out of turkey some time after April 24th 1963.

What was John F Kennedy's biggest achievement?
I think it was forcing Russia to remove missiles from Cuba before they were actually set up and keeping them from adding any others. I can imagine all kinds of difficulties in having missiles in Cuba pointed at the US. Also it would have been a lot harder to get them out later. A second answer is to get elected as President. That alone insured a poace in US history.
