Vietnam War Documented by Americans Who Served in the Armed Forces
Vietnam War as documented by servicemen from the Department of the US Army Special Photographic Office.
The exhibition of works of American servicemen from the Department of the Army Special Photographic Office (DASPO, created in 1962) who went to document the events of Vietnam War as photographers is open in the Pritzker Military Museum in Chicago until March 31, 2017. Many of the photographs are also available online on the museum’s website.
“Armed with their cameras, sound equipment, and light weaponry, the elite photographers and cameramen of DASPO captured, in stark detail, the true horrors and humanity of the Vietnam War, — the description of the Faces of War exhibition says. — These special operations teams operated with unlimited access—producing some of the most iconic and important images from the conflict.”
