Off-duty airmen gather at a makeshift squadron club inside a corrugated-metal hut at a U.S. air base in Vietnam, 1965. Bars like this one, often decorated with irreverent squadron insignia such as the skull motif seen above the counter, provided fighter wing personnel a place to unwind between missions during the early years of the American air war in Southeast Asia.
