141020-G-AB123-002
This photo was the first one identified by photo interpreters at the National Photographic Interpretation Center as revealing the presence of Soviet medium-range ballistic missiles in Cuba. It was taken Oct. 14, 1962, by a U-2 flight ordered by President John Kennedy because DIA analysts believed that Soviet nuclear missiles might be in Cuba. Missile trailers are visible on the bottom right.
