The aftermath of the Bay of Pigs Invasion included military tribunals in Havana, Cuban planes hijacked to Miami by passengers wanting to flee Castro's regime and thousands of POWs. Images in this lot of (83) wire photos capture these events and the relief of families as the POWs were returned to the United States almost two years later. All are front captioned wire photos sized from 7x9" to 8x10". The lot is fairly evenly distributed through a condition range from VG (mostly due to editing marks) to MT.
