Nicaragua, 1982
This image, shot by an American SR-71 spy plane, shows Soviet merchant ships
offloading military equipment at the Nicaraguan port of Corinto. The U.S. State
Department Office of Public Diplomacy released this image of the Nicaraguan
military buildup to generate support for the "contras" and to highlight the
threat posed by the Soviet Union, Cuba, and Nicaragua of fomenting revolution
throughout Central America.
