An aerial view of a Vietnamese river delta, photographed from the cockpit of an aircraft during the Vietnam War era. Winding waterways and patchwork rice paddies typify the agricultural lowlands frequently overflown by U.S. Air Force pilots operating from bases such as Nakhon Phanom and Da Nang. Photographs like this were often taken by pilots documenting their missions or simply capturing the striking landscape below. Project: 219827
