Rural Vietnamese Burial Tombs in Field, Countryside Near 3rd TFW Base — 1965
A faded color slide from the personal collection of an airman with the 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing, deployed to South Vietnam in 1965. The photograph, taken from a moving vehicle near the unit's base, shows traditional Vietnamese family tombs standing amid an overgrown rural field — a glimpse of local culture and countryside life captured by American servicemen during the early buildup of U.S. air operations in Vietnam.
