Airman Posing with Ammunition Belt and Weapon Before Attack Jet, Vietnam Era
An airman poses beside a camouflaged jet attack aircraft, draped in ammunition belts and holding a submachine gun -- a common informal portrait style among Vietnam-era aircrew. The hand-painted 'Love / Peace' artwork on the fuel tank reflects the era's countercultural spirit finding its way even onto combat hardware. From the personal collection of Doc Blanchard.
