In 1952 locust swarms flying in from Saudi Arabia threatened Iran's harvest. In a unique cooperation, US and Soviet pilots and specialists sprayed the infested areas.
Locusts in the narrow, marshy valley of Dashte Arjan, the tribal region of the Kashgais. In former times, the locust invasion would have spelled famine for the valley; this time three planes and two
days work averted the catastrophe.
