How the media views America...and the world:




"Dak to 67" illustration by Noriyoshi Ohrai inspired by a photograph taken by French photographer Henri Huet during the Vietnam War. On Feb 10, 1971 he and 10 other photojournalists were being transported in a UH-1 Huey and were shot down over the Ho Chi Minh trail area. All 11 were killed.



The photo in question was featured in Life magazine, February 11, 1966:






Noriyoshi gained fame in 1980 when George Lucas commissioned him to do the international poster for "The Empire Strikes Back" after being impressed by an earlier Star Wars piece he did for a Japanese sci-fi magazine.



A version of this scene found its way into the music video for "Do You See What I See" / "Behind the Barrier" (1984) by Planet P Project.
