Aerial View of a Southeast Asian River, In-Flight Photograph
This in-flight photograph, taken from an Air Force aircraft over Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War era, captures a wide, silt-laden river winding through forested lowlands and farmland. Images like this were often taken by pilots and aircrew during transit or reconnaissance flights, offering a rare aerial perspective on the terrain over which combat and support missions were flown. The photograph comes from the personal collection of Don Engebretsen, whose copyright watermark appears in the lower corner. Project: 218950
