Vietnam 1967 Chu-Lai AirBase

Time-Stamps Below:

My parents showed me these photos taken by my
Great-Uncle. They are now here for archival.

From my findings, it is likely he was stationed at
Chu-Lai AirBase during the Vietnam War.
Few photos have hand-written dates on the backside.
Earliest found was, "Chu-Lai, May4 1967"

The first image (Painting) that proceeds Vietnam photos is actually a wooden cover for a photo book.
I wonder if this was bought in one of the local shops.

------------------------------------------------------------
This project required many hours of processing old photos, as the following occurred:

1)All photos were taken on Kodak 35mm Slides.
(except for around a dozen Polaroid Photos)
2) Many Kodak Slides had the image reversed.
3) Images were reversed back to original based on environmental cues
(i.e, Google Maps, Land Masses,
Dominant Hand, Watches, Lettering, Signs,
Weapon Charging Handles)
4) Many slides were corrupted, very low quality coloration. This required change in lighting.
5)Kodak Slides Had to be viewed with a special viewer, which we have two.

The slideshow has no sound.
That is fine, just put on Spotify in the background when viewing.
Here's a playlist of songs.

I will continue to search for more photos. If more are found, I will re-upload and consider placing my own music in the slideshow.
