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.
