at 35mm, 1/640 f/7.1, ISO 100, hand held. Playa Larga - Bahia de Cochinos , Cuba.

Il giorno del nostro trasferimento per Trinidad ci siamo fermati in un punto iconico del ricordo della battaglia della Baia dei Porci, "Fin qui sono arrivati i mercenari" ecco cosa si legge nell'immagine, fu il fallito tentativo di rovesciare il governo di Fidel Castro a Cuba, messo in atto dalla CIA degli Stati Uniti d'America per mezzo di un gruppo di esuli cubani anticastristi, fatti sbarcare nella parte sud-ovest dell'isola. La missione fu avviata il 15 aprile e doveva iniziare con una serie di attacchi aerei per neutralizzare la difesa di Castro. Dopodiché i 1.400 soldati anti-castristi sarebbero dovuti sbarcare sulla baia e, grazie alla copertura aerea, rovesciare il governo comunista con un'offensiva lampo. Le cose non andarono come previsto fin dal primo momento: gli aerei bimotore B-26 usati dagli esuli mancarono buona parte degli obiettivi. Nel frattempo, a terra, le imbarcazioni degli anti-castristi erano rimaste incagliate a causa dei fondali bassi e dei coralli. Il 16 aprile doveva esserci una seconda serie di bombardamenti aerei, che però venne cancellata, non senza una certa perplessità da parte dei piloti. Questa decisione fece sì che la flotta aerea cubana restasse quasi intatta, e lasciò a Castro il tempo di preparare la difesa in vista dello sbarco delle truppe di terra, che avvenne solo il 17 aprile. Una volta sbarcati, i soldati anti-castristi si trovarono da soli contro una difesa ben preparata, che conosceva meglio il territorio e dotata di copertura aerea. In breve furono sconfitti e in gran parte catturati dall'esercito di Castro. Fonte Wikipedia

A distant story, the banner of that way then divided into two that unfortunately is still current, with the aggravating circumstance today of the third inconvenience that is China and a next quarter that is India ... What about us Europeans? Not received ...
Interesting proposition, hello.

A yellow color... which reinforces an image that represents history. A story that you have well told with this nice image.

The unstable human genius, always looking for a new balance.
Strange though it is, humanity is evolving. See.
Excellent testimony dear Loris, well done!
Thanks for sharing :-P

I inform you that in this period of post-operative convalescence forced to the maison, I am enjoying your reportage and your captions ...
A great document: exploit, read, look and not give you credit, it is not from a polite person.
Good day dear Loris.
maximum.

A piece of history in pictures. As always very good in the presentation, I envy you the 5d and that 16-35 with which you bake beautiful images; I am completely in line with your comment and that of Pinnitti (and they are already twice! :-) )
and us Europeans? Not received ...

No no we are, we are too busy in the crazy project (as it was conceived) of the new green economy that will definitively cut us off from the games that matter, providing technological and productive advantages to those who are already in monopoly. And in the meantime, as we did in Iraq, we support the losing side. Real geniuses.
Greetings

Colors and atmospheres typical of that fantastic island. And as always the caption adds interesting information that gives further value to the shot. Congratulations again Loris.
