This picture in particular and a few from that photo essay are vividly etched in my memory since my childhood. My dad used to have a LIFE magazine subscription and I remember coming across the above-pictured issue. I must have been 6-7 years old at the time. Such vivid, crude pictures deeply impressed me. I remember well the cover picture, but also this one, of the gunner in the cover picture, after landing:Spot on mate, it was the cover photo for the April 16 1965 issue of Life Couchy.
The entire photo essay by Larry Burrows, titled "One ride with Yanke Papa 13", is here:
'One Ride With Yankee Papa 13': A Classic Photo Essay From Vietnam
A searing portrait of young men fighting for their lives in Vietnam in 1965, when America was ramping up involvement in Southeast Asia.

From the text in the photo essay: "Six years after “Yankee Papa 13” ran in LIFE, Burrows was killed, along with three other journalists Henri Huet, Kent Potter and Keisaburo Shimamoto when a helicopter in which they were flying was shot down over Laos in February, 1971. He was 44 years old."
L. Burrows took outstanding images of the conflict, many of which have come to symbolise the Vietnam War:

The entire article is really wrenching, even now. Back in the 60s it was revolutionary.
Very affecting journalism.

Wow. That's a pretty antiwar painting for 1916! Maybe animals got by the propaganda machine.

There won't be a war covered in mass media like Vietnam ever again, The military and the powers that be found out that uncontrolled access made people hate war. No more "Vietnam Syndrome" for us!
You can still find all the horror of war on the internet but you have to look for it. The Google Youtube etc. algorithms are far more controlled now in 2022 than in say 2012. The internet is being scrubbed inexorably...
