Flight Line Revetments and Aircraft Structure, Vietnam-Era Air Base

A flight line at a South Vietnam air base, showing the corrugated aluminum revetments used to shelter and separate parked aircraft from rocket and mortar fire. Photographs like this one, taken informally by servicemen, document the everyday operational landscape of wartime airfields far removed from combat imagery. Project: 218905
