The Don Englebreston Collection
Gallery: Don Fulton pic of Don E 1st Flight
Photographs by Don Fulton spanning carrier flight operations with F-4 Phantoms and an A-4 Skyhawk, aerial refueling seen from a KC-135 boom operator's window, a sandbagged bunker position, underwing minigun and rocket pods, and the muddy forward airstrip where Don Engebretsen took his first Huey flight. Together the images pair personal milestones and everyday moments with the hardware of the air war, from ordnance loads to the rotary-wing airpower that shaped daily life at forward operating bases in Vietnam.
