The Other Air War 1967
Sometimes I find the unexpected. In the 60s, we received news panel shows on vinyl ETs.
In a bunch of them was this. Jerry Golden and a team from WLS in Chicago produced a documentary about the air war in Vietnam. Take listen to what can be done on recording tape...

Garry had heard part of this before....

Jim Pewter and civilians

Still, I remained faithful to AFN as You see from the tapes.
