The Don Englebreston Collection
Gallery: Ed Hlavaty Pictures
Ed Hlavaty's photographs record two sides of the Vietnam War: a U.S. serviceman handing out relief supplies to villagers as children look on, part of the MEDCAP civic action programs that paired combat operations with food, clothing, and medical care. Alongside it, three Air Force aircrew members pose beside a white Sikorsky H-3 helicopter, the versatile twin-turbine workhorse flown on search and rescue, transport, and support missions.
