A Vietnamese city photographed from the air during the war: cargo boats at the river quay, a dense grid of shophouses and tiled roofs, a French-era church rising above the rooftops, and on the horizon the long lines of hangars and revetments of a major airbase, backed by coastal mountains. The juxtaposition is the essential geography of the conflict - an established commercial city living immediately alongside an enormous foreign military installation. Project: 219827
