Vietnamese Village and U.S. Air Base Installation with Radomes, Vietnam War Era

This photograph, taken by Don Engebretsen during his service in Vietnam, shows the close proximity between a local Vietnamese village and a U.S. military installation, identifiable by the large radome domes visible on the distant hilltop. Such radar and communications installations played a critical role in intelligence-gathering and air defense operations throughout the Vietnam War. Project: 218965
