Street Scene with Jeepneys, Philippine Port City, Vietnam War Era
A crowded street lined with brightly decorated jeepneys in a Philippine port city, photographed by a sailor from the USS Ticonderoga during a liberty call in the Vietnam War era. Jeepneys, converted from surplus U.S. military jeeps after World War II, became the iconic public transport of the Philippines and offered American servicemen a glimpse of everyday local life between deployments to the waters off Vietnam.
