Click to enlarge.

Photo of a chart, showing the Strait of Hormuz, the airway, and the supposed position of various ships, and the aircraft, on July 3 1988. This chart was submitted by senior U.S. Military Officers to Congress, in testimony, on September 8-9 1988, to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees.

The photo in both printed Committee hearings is scarcely visible on microfiche. This is a copy of that photo, with editorial additions, four years later, by Newsweek magazine: The added red words, and red arrows, and the white-on-black comments.
