 Guatemalan insurgents stand guard at a Honduras airstrip while newspaper men press near a lone plane seeking passage over the rocky wooded hills to the border town of Esquipulas, capital of the free Guatemalan government. The Guatemalan army, though still loyal to President Arbenz, feared that an all-out American invasion would soon follow. Rumours spread that the Arbenz government was close to falling, the tensions heightened by bombing raids on key government buildings from CIA-run aircraft.
