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.

Bomb Damage Hanoi North Vietnam
Aerial photo from C-130 as we approached Gia Lam Airport in Hanoi shortly following 1973 ceasefire, and not long after Linebacker II 1972 Christmas bombing. Appears that these are storage facilities in upper half of frame along with some military transport vehicles?? Many of the buildings are heavily damaged as might be expected given the large bomb craters evident in left side of picture.
