Peter Wyden, Bay of Pigs (New Press, 1979), pp. 34-37

1960: "Robert K. Davis...his title was First Secretary of the American Embassy in Guatemala City; actually, he was the CIA chief of station...In 1954 he had been part of the CIA's Guatemala team, setting up the logistics for the overthrow of President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman...he needed no permission to get his end of the new Cuba project started. It required only lunch with his old friend Roberto Alejos...(Roberto) had once been (President) Arbenz's secretary. Now he was close to Ydigoras. His political connections and his coffee plantation had made him very rich. The plantation, Helvetia, is where Alejos took Davis. It covered five thousand acres in the Sierra Madre mountains at altitudes from four thousand to eight thousand feet. It was criss-crossed with sixty miles of private roads...(he) began to realize he had not heard the last of the new Cuba project when Washington instructed him to get barracks ready...on volcanic soil a thousand feet below Helvetia, a spot was found for the barracks that became known as Camp Trax. Then, towards the end of May, Davis was astounded to get a message instructing him to build an airport." The project was built at Retalhuleu, below Helvetia.
