Air Traffic Control Tower at Vietnam-Era USAF Airfield (possibly Da Nang Air Base)

Air Traffic Control Tower at Vietnam-Era USAF Airfield (possibly Da Nang Air Base)

A red-and-white striped control tower stands watch over a bustling Vietnam War-era airfield. Built on a raised steel scaffold for maximum visibility, towers like this one directed the constant stream of fighter, attack, and transport aircraft that operated from major USAF bases such as Da Nang during the war.
