Barracks Building No. 600 with Roof Damage, U.S. Air Base, Vietnam
Damage to the corrugated metal roof of Building 600, a barracks structure on a U.S. air base in Vietnam, illustrates the ever-present threat of rocket and mortar attacks faced by American servicemembers even away from the flight line. Photographs like this one, taken by USAF officer Don Engebretsen, document the everyday realities of life on a Vietnam-era air base between combat missions. Project: 218963
