Vietnam Military Photo Album
Vietnam War Era U.S. Army Engineer Unit at Oakland Army Base Multiracial Military Life Photo Album Early 1970s
1970. U.S. Army Engineer Company photo album early 1970s documents logistical operations base life and personnel composition at Oakland Army Base during the Vietnam War providing visual evidence of military transportation infrastructure and the integration of a diverse workforce within a key Pacific transit hub. The material records the functioning of an engineer unit responsible for vehicle maintenance cargo handling and operational readiness while also capturing the presence of African American servicemen and female personnel within the same working and ceremonial environments. It supports research into military logistics on the U.S. home front race and gender integration in the armed forces and the institutional processes that sustained overseas deployment during the Vietnam War.<br /> <br /> Album containing 369 photographs including 353 color and 16 black and white images most measuring approximately 5 x 3.5 inches compiled at Oakland Army Base and the adjacent Port of Oakland. The contents document heavy machinery and vehicle maintenance including bulldozers cranes transport trucks and military jeeps with numerous images showing mechanics engaged in repair work. Additional photographs depict combat training exercises including rifle instruction with M16 firearms alongside formal ceremonies in which soldiers of varied racial backgrounds and both genders receive promotions commendations and instruction from commanding officers. Several images show administrative office environments providing insight into the clerical and organizational functions supporting base operations. Group scenes include family-oriented gatherings and meals indicating the social dimension of service life within the base setting. Produced at a time when Oakland Army Base operated as a principal embarkation and return point for U.S. forces traveling to and from Vietnam and other locations in East Asia the album documents the domestic infrastructure underpinning overseas military engagement. The emphasis on machinery cargo movement and personnel readiness reflects the scale and complexity of logistical coordination required during the conflict. The visible diversity within the unit corresponds with broader transformations in the U.S. military following desegregation and evolving roles for women making the album relevant to studies of institutional change during the late stages of the Vietnam War. Light wear to album edges and corners photographs well-preserved with minor handling marks; overall very good. A substantial visual record of engineer operations and base life at a critical West Coast military installation during wartime. unknown

Vietnam Moratorium Day Protest
No Business as Usual!" Original 1971 Vietnam Moratorium Day Protest Poster by the Vietnam Peace Parade Committee
1971. Counterculture Social Activism This striking 1971 protest poster was issued by the Vietnam Peace Parade Committee to promote national participation in Vietnam Moratorium Day observed on Wednesday October 13th 1971. Designed in bold agitprop style the poster combines militant typography with an urgent visual motif that reflects the escalating tone of the antiwar movement in the early 1970s. New York: Vietnam Peace Parade Committee 1971. Bold white typography with circular graphic emblem at top. <br /> <br /> Below the emblem centered white text declares: "we will observe / moratorium day / wed. october 13ᵗʰ / by" followed by a large white blank space left intentionally empty for local groups or individuals to fill in their planned action or statement of protest. The poster concludes with a defiant and unequivocal call: "no business as usual! / end the war now!" At the bottom the issuing organization is credited: Vietnam Peace Parade Committee 17 East 17th Street New York N.Y. 10003.<br /> <br /> The poster is a vivid artifact of the Vietnam Moratorium movement which began in October 1969 as a coordinated nationwide effort to halt everyday activities in protest of the war. Unlike previous marches and rallies Moratorium Day called for civic refusal and general strikes encouraging walkouts from schools workplaces and public institutions. By 1971 in the wake of the Cambodian incursion and the publication of the Pentagon Papers the antiwar movement had taken on a more urgent and radical tone. This poster's slogan-"no business as usual!"-reflects that shift asserting that complicity in everyday life was untenable while the U.S. continued to bomb and occupy Southeast Asia. As a piece of protest ephemera the poster is emblematic of the era's graphic culture of resistance: minimalist yet commanding visually direct yet ideologically expansive. Light handling wear otherwise very good. unknown

Vietnam NO MORE WAR
1970 Anti-War "NO MORE WAR" Poster by Terry & Dennis Newell
1970. Anti-WarVietnam War "NO MORE WAR". Designed and photographed by Terry and Dennis Newell 1970. Measures 35" × 16" on offset tan lithographic paper. This monochromatic anti-war poster illustrates three scenes of a man and woman in three stages of their lives. In the first photo a young girl innocently gifts a young boy flowers on a grassy field. The following image conveys the young girl and boy in their adulthood---dressed in typical 1970's attire---as the woman hands flowers to the man in great despair. As her partner leaves to fight in the war she is left on the field longing for his return. Yet in the last image she is left lying flowers atop his coffin wrapped in the American flag. The Vietnam anti-war movement from 1960-1970 was one of the most pervasive displays of opposition to the government policy in modern times as protests raged all over the country. As a result posters like these were just one of the mediums used to highlight anti-war narratives. Five inch tear on the top margin minorly affecting the title text. Signs of foxing and discoloration to due to age otherwise in very good condition. unknown

Vietnam War-Era Life
Vietnam War-Era South Vietnamese Soldier's Pocket Photo Album Documenting Civilian Life ca. 1960s
1960. Vietnam War Photography Personal photograph album containing 17 silver gelatin photographs documenting civilian life education family and military service in South Vietnam during the 1960s. Original brown vinyl album measuring approximately 3.5" x 4.5"; photographs approximately 2.5" x 3.25".<br /> <br /> The album offers an intimate glimpse into the everyday experiences of South Vietnamese men and women during a period more often documented through the lens of war. Rather than combat scenes the photographs focus primarily on family friendship education courtship and community life creating a personal record of a society navigating rapid social change amid the conflict. Several photographs depict young Vietnamese women wearing traditional áo dài dresses both in formal portraits and informal outdoor settings. One particularly attractive image shows three smiling women walking along a path in patterned áo dài framed by a mixture of traditional and modern architecture. Another studio portrait captures a young woman posed alone and smiling toward the camera suggesting a family member friend or perhaps the album owner's sweetheart.<br /> <br /> Education and youth culture are prominently represented. Multiple photographs show school-aged girls gathered in classrooms and assembled outdoors in large group portraits. The students wear white áo dài and traditional conical hats illustrating the continued importance of educational institutions and cultural traditions during the war years. Several candid classroom scenes preserve moments of ordinary student life rarely encountered in wartime photographic archives. The album also documents changing fashions and modernization in South Vietnam. Young men and women appear in contemporary 1960s clothing posing in parks forests and rural landscapes. One photograph shows a young Vietnamese man seated proudly atop a large tractor reflecting the agricultural modernization efforts underway throughout much of South Vietnam during the period.<br /> <br /> Military service appears in several images. One photograph depicts a South Vietnamese serviceman standing beside an automobile with military vehicles visible in the background suggesting that the album may have belonged to a soldier or military family. Unlike official military photographs however the image emphasizes personal identity rather than military operations reinforcing the album's character as a private keepsake rather than a wartime record. Additional photographs show fishing boats riverside scenes rural landscapes and groups of family members and friends creating a portrait of everyday life that existed alongside the broader conflict. Together the photographs reveal the coexistence of tradition and modernity documenting a generation of South Vietnamese men and women whose lives were shaped by both enduring cultural customs and the upheavals of the Vietnam War era. Photographs appear to have been removed from a larger album at some point with remnants of mounting paper and adhesive visible on versos. Minor wear and handling marks; overall very good condition. A compelling personal archive documenting civilian life education culture and military service in South Vietnam during the 1960s. unknown

Vietnam War Photographica
ANNOTATED VERNACULAR PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM CAPTURING TEN MONTHS ON VARIOUS AMERICAN AIR FORCE BASES DURING THE VIETNAM WAR
Biên Hòa Nha Trang Long Binh and other locations in Vietnam plus Luzon Philippines and Osan South Korea 1970. 469 black-and-white or color photographs measuring between 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches and 8 x 10 inches either mounted or laid-in to acetate sleeves almost all annotated in ink on the bottom margin or on the verso. Contemporary three-ring thick quarto-size binder black cloth over boards. Joints partially split some abrading and dust- soiling to covers. Slight fading to some of the color photos. Overall very good. An exceptional vernacular photograph album by a talented but unknown amateur photographer recording a wide variety of experiences on American Air Force bases in South Vietnam and Asia during peak years of the Vietnam War. <br> <br> The photographer was likely a member of the motor pool or a mechanic as the shots seem to center around truck airplane and helicopter maintenance. Most of the photographs capture scenes on or around the various bases with shots both inside and outside of barracks airplanes including several shots of a U2 spy plane bombed-out equipment and numerous photos of the people and structures in the "Vietnamese Area." A few images capture distant shots of the aftermath of a "rocket attack" on December 12 1969; shortly thereafter the photographer and his friends celebrate Christmas. Some of the more interesting photographs during the photographer's time in Vietnam include "VC Prisoners" "Group of Zips" "Papa-San Working His Rice Paddie" "Vietnamese Guard Tower" "Church on the West Side of Biên Hòa" "Refueling at Phan Rang Run" "Bring the Wounded Out" and several pictures labeled "Buddha Hill" likely the Long Son Pagoda in Nha Trang. Notably and for no obvious reason in two separate images the photographer snaps a picture in a magazine of the famous photograph of ThÃÂch Quang Duc the monk who burned himself alive at a busy intersection in Saigon in 1963. Several times the photographer takes a picture of another picture an interesting practice in the context of so many original photographs. <br> <br> A handful of images of the photographer himself can be seen in the album. In a couple of shots he is posed with his pet lizard. Later he and his fellow soldiers adopt a pet monkey who features in several photographs. There are also a healthy amount of aerial images featuring the South Vietnamese landscape notably rice fields villages rivers "bomb craters" and cities among other locations. Also the photographer identifies dozens of fellow soldiers by name throughout the album in both single portraits and in group photos. <br> <br> The album contains numerous shots both black-and-white and in color taken from the crowd and later on the runway during a December 28 1969 U.S.O. show at Long Binh with several images each of Bob Hope Neil Armstrong Connie Stevens Suzanne Charny Teresa Graves Les Brown the Golddiggers and others. One photograph of Neil Armstrong is captioned "Biggest Hit of the Show." This is understandable given the fact that Armstrong landed on the moon just five months before this U.S.O. show. There is also an 8 x 10 photograph of Connie Stevens inscribed to "Ron" either the photographer's first name or an autographed picture he received from a friend. After the U.S.O. show the photographer snaps several closer shots of Bob Hope Connie Stevens and others climbing into cars to leave. <br> <br> In April or May 1970 the photographer was shipped out to Osan Air Base in South Korea. Along the way he spends a couple of days at Clark Air Base in Luzon in the Philippines where he snaps a few shots of the base. By early May he has arrived at the Osan Air Base near Songtan Station in the city of Pyeongtaek South Korea just south of Seoul. He seems to be happy with his appointment at Osan; he captions one photograph "Home Sweet Home" and a few shots of the countryside as "Paradise." Here he also photographs Korean farmers their families villages a marketplace a church a school and other landmarks. The final two images dated in August 1970 show the photographer on an airboat on an unidentified Korean river. <br> <br> Personal photographic records by soldiers in Vietnam are growing ever more scarce in the market. This collection is one of the best we've encountered and most certainly informs the overall record of the war during perhaps its lowest point of public support. hardcover books

FUCK The ARMY. Wisconsin Alliance Benefit
Madison WI 1975. 1st Printing. Now housed in an archival mylar sleeve. Faint horizontal fold line faint discoloration along vertical edges otherwise VG. Broadside printed in black on purple paper. With a center illustration satirical in nature of US soldiers with screws through the center of each and FUCK THE ARMY in large letters across the top. Jane Fonda's and Donald Sutherland's names bracket the center graphic. 17" x 10-7/8" <br/><br/>The FTA Show or FTA Tour or Free The Army tour a play on the common troop expression "Fuck The Army" which in turn was a play on the army slogan "Fun Travel and Adventure" was a 1971 anti-Vietnam War road show for GIs designed as a response to Bob Hope's patriotic and pro-war USO tour. The idea was first conceived by Howard Levy an ex-US Army doctor who had just been released from 26 months in Fort Leavenworth military prison for refusing orders to train Green Beret medics on their way to the Vietnam War. Levy convinced actress Jane Fonda who recruited a number of actors entertainers musicians and others including the actors Donald Sutherland Peter Boyle Garry Goodrow and Michael Alaimo comedian and civil rights activist Dick Gregory and soul and R&B singer Swamp Dogg Jerry Williams Jr. Alan Myerson of San Francisco improv comedy group The Committee agreed to direct while cartoonist and author Jules Feiffer and playwrights Barbara Garson and Herb Gardner wrote songs and skits for the show. Fred Gardner the originator of the antiwar GI Coffeehouse movement became the Tour's "stage manager and liaison to the coffeehouse staffs.' At various times other actors writers musicians comedians and entertainers were involved. The United States Servicemen's Fund USSF with Dr. Levy as one of its principle organizers became the official sponsor of the tour. The anti-Vietnam War USSF promoted free speech within the US military funded and supported independent GI newspapers and coffeehouses and worked to defend the legal rights of GIs. Sponsorship was later taken over by a group called the Entertainment Industry for Peace & Justice EIPJ." Wiki <br /> <br />Research indicates this broadside advertises a 1975 filming of the an FTA performance. See the Wisconsin State Journal Madison WI April 15 1975. unknown books

Vietnam War: Thailand
VERNACULAR PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM DOCUMENTING AFRICAN-AMERICAN AIR FORCE SOLDIERS IN THAILAND DURING THE VIETNAM WAR
Various places in Thailand perhaps centering on Korat Royal Thai Air Force Base 1977. Seventy-seven Kodak color photographs almost all approximately 3 1/2 x 5 inches a handful slightly smaller and one postcard. Slim quarto. Contemporary glossy purple floral-patterned cloth photograph album gilt- stamped label on front cover. Some images slightly faded. Overall very good. A highly entertaining collection of vernacular photographs capturing the lives of young African-American G.I.s and their romantic interests in a village in Thailand during the latter years of the Vietnam War. The photographs show African-American men in both uniforms and street clothes often posed alone or with Thai locals almost exclusively women. The men are seen at work and play including an image of the gun shop with a sign labeled "Phase Section" on the front and a large military van with a similar sign reading "2 Orange." There is also a great deal of coverage of the locals living in the village including women and children. One photograph of particular interest shows part of a commercial building emblazoned with both a Coca-Cola and a Pepsi sign. The date range of 1972 to 1977 stems from the fact that some of the photographs are date-stamped in the margin "Oct 72" and one later image is stamped July 1977; most images seem to emanate from the earlier date. The single postcard is an image of Wang Not Ten Waterfall in Phitsanulok in north-central Thailand. The album could possibly have been retained by a local Thai person documenting their interactions with the visiting Americans. <br> <br> There were a half dozen active American Air Force bases in Thailand during the 1970s from which over 80% of the air strikes of North Vietnam originated. The American servicemen seen in the present photographs were either airmen performing these strikes or ground crew in support of the pilots. Also given that Korat Royal Thai Air Force Base and Phitsanulok are both in north-central Thailand it is likely the images depict this area. <br> <br> A rare look at African-American servicemen in a strategically important region of Thailand during the Vietnam War. hardcover books
