Description
this fight helmet was in the UAA Kidd museum and I like the image a lot so before you all ask me of my new artvak i show it to you. This was on a Air Force pilot that was POW in viet nam . Not sure which one and here is a link to show the whole area. But i think this was in a diff deplay case by itself.

look at the The Louisiana Veterans Hall of Honor
on this page.
all I know is his plane blow up in mid air and he was taken to Hoa Lo Central Prison. Here they did not let the doctors see him intill many days and he had burns and a head injure. The doctors was mad at the Prison for they told the prison he could die. he was in prison for about six and halve years as a POW.
I just like this shot and the history behind it

This is quite a catch and the reflections are amazing too. You really should zoom on this puppy to see all of the details, and since I'm into science fiction (the believable kind) this is full of all of the sorts of wonderful details and doodads that make stuff convincing in GOOD science fiction. This has such a hard, military look to it and that's beautiful in its own weird way. The information you provided is quite interesting too. Yeah, there's not doubt: you're a history buff! That's a good thing!

O.K. Jock I'm not going to lecture you, but that is actually an 'AVATAR' just like the recent movie block-buster, a good tip, get a Google toolbar as that comes with a free spell check, you don't want everybody to think you are just a crazy Cajun ? Don't feel bad as I'm a crap speller myself, but now with Google spell check, I don't mess up as much...LOL ! Kool subject for your new A V A T A R ! ~Cheers~

If the American public knew just how bad our prisoners were being treated, there would have been a cry to nuke the bast*rds. Communists have never treated any captives with any humanity. Look at Korea the war, and today), and inside any communist-controlled country. Good shot of the helmet.
