Personal photos/text taken in/out of Vietnam combat zone from perspective of copilot on USAF C-130 345th Tactical Airlift Crew. Not just about the war, but also about the people/places of the region during 1972. This is where I got my first Nikon film SLR which turned into lifelong passion albeit now Canon digital SLR. The photos are recent digital scans from old 35mm slides wasting away in hot/cold attic for 40 years. Extensive Photoshop editing has been used to make them somewhat presentable.

With most young Vietnamese males consumed by the war, women did many of the ground jobs on airbases. Here a lady fork lift operator unloads cargo aircraft: Bien Hoa (just northeast of Saigon) 1972.
