Title

Aerial photo of vehicles on an air strip

Description

Original caption: "Unaware of the roving camera eye of an Air Force reconnaissance pilot, this North Vietnamese auxiliary landing strip is being repaired following a strike by U.S. Air Force tactical aircraft. Two trucks and an earth-grading machine are in the center of the strip, packing and leveling the earth. Off the runway, (top of photo) is an unidentified destroyed aircraft. Reconnaissance aircraft constantly prowl the skies of North Vietnam seeking out targets for Air Force strike aircraft and recording post strike bomb damage." Aerial photo of four vehicles on an air strip.
