USAF Aircrew and Ground Personnel on Flight Line Ramp, Southeast Asia, Vietnam War Era
U.S. Air Force aircrew relax on the flight line at a Southeast Asia air base during the Vietnam War. Steel revetments in the background protected parked aircraft from enemy rocket and mortar attacks. The nametag 'SEITH' is visible on one flight suit; his colorful improvised wrap is a reminder of the informal humor airmen used to cope with the heat and stress of combat deployments. Project: 218963
