A forward airfield in Southeast Asia, Vietnam War era. Shot from beside another parked aircraft, this slide captures the everyday density of a wartime apron: dark twin-engine attack aircraft — most likely A-26 Invaders — sit on one side of the concrete while a high-wing tactical transport, probably a C-123 Provider or C-7 Caribou, loads on the other. Beyond the ramp lies freshly graded laterite, revetments and temporary buildings, the signature of a base still being built while it fought. From the Bob Karre material in the collection of Donald L. Engebretsen. Project: 218905
