This vivid color slide captures a quiet moment on a Vietnam War-era flight line, where a serviceman carries equipment past a row of parked CH-47 Chinook helicopters. The Chinook, a heavy-lift, tandem-rotor transport helicopter, was a workhorse of the Vietnam War, ferrying troops, artillery, and supplies throughout the difficult terrain of Southeast Asia. The rain-soaked tarmac, reflecting both man and machine, offers an evocative glimpse of daily life at a forward airfield far from combat. Project: 218406
