About This Item

Vietnam, 1967. Hardcover. Near Fine. Oblong quarto. Measuring 14" x 10". Spiral bound purple cloth photo album with "Photo Album" in silver on the front board. A collection of 49 black and white or sepia toned photographs affixed to stiff black paper measuring between 2.5" x 3.5" to 9.5" x 9.5" without captions. All photographs are near fine or better in a very good album with worn edges. The photo album of the "Mohawk" helicopter crew members from the 73rd Aviation Company during the Vietnam War from 1966-1967. The album pictures the men of the 73rd on base in Nha Trang and Vung Tau with aerial photographs that include images of their base. There are images of leisure time with snapshots of volleyball games, and Nancy Sinatra (in high boots) performing during her first USO tour in 1967. Also known as the 73rd Surveillance Airplane Company, or SAC, the company was sent to Vietnam beginning in 1963. According to their website, "the mission of the unit was to support combat operations by performing visual and aerial photographic reconnaissance and surveillance, artillery adjustment, combat command and control, and other combat support operations as required... Over seventy percent of the missions flown were devoted to aerial surveillance." The company "accomplished over 45,000 missions, flying over 43,000 hours." A modest but interesting photographic record of an important company involved in the Vietnam War.
