Portfolio: In-Memoriam of SEA Air Warriors
With increasing frequence the ACIG.org team is getting photographs from veterans of the air wars in SEA, or their descendants. In our data-base we attempt to break-down all the wars fought in this part of the world during the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s - and frequently also ever since - describing them separately. At the time, however, these wars were a conglomerate, almost a single giant air war, involving thousands of participants and aircraft, each of which has his own story to tell. We therefore feel priviledged by the opportunity to share this unique gallery of photographs from different private collections: photographs that are true historic documents about participants and fates of people who loved flying above all - and of their fascinating machinery.
