An airman watches an aircraft in the distance near Kham Duc, South Vietnam, in a photograph the collector's notes link to the dramatic May 1968 evacuation of the besieged Kham Duc Special Forces camp. Red laterite soil, typical of Vietnam's Central Highlands, and rising smoke on the horizon evoke the tension of an active combat zone. From the Don Dineen Collection, 1st and 6th Air Commando/Special Operations Squadrons. Project: 218884
