Airstrip at Cu Chi Base Camp, South Vietnam, 1967
A 1967 snapshot of the airstrip at Cu Chi, South Vietnam, home to the U.S. Army's 25th Infantry Division. A twin-engine STOL transport, likely a C-123 Provider or C-7 Caribou, sits at the far end of the dusty runway -- a scene typical of the forward bases that depended on rugged short-field aircraft for troops, mail, and supplies during the Vietnam War.
