Memoir Vietnam & SE Asia 1972

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.

Saigon, Vietnam NVA C-130 Boarding

Orderly procession of NVA soldiers on ramp at Tan Son Nhut Airbase in Saigon, Vietnam – 1973. These soldiers were involved in cease fire discussions, and were approaching our C-130 for boarding. Destination was the DMZ or Gia Lam Airport in Hanoi … can’t remember which as we made several such trips.
