"U.S. Air Force Combat Photography" in Vietnam (1968)

This film explores the role of Air Force combat cameras and crews during the Vietnam War. Beginning with a short history of war art and photography, it leads up to the 1960s and problems caused by the speed of jets. It also details daily jobs related to combat film, such as editing and assessing photos in the lab.

By 1968, U.S. Air Force combat photographers in Vietnam documented the war through still and motion pictures, often in high-risk aerial missions and on the ground.

Crazy Charlie Lafitte (revisited)

Several long-time readers have asked if I'd do a rerun of Crazy Charlie Lafitte's stories from the old blog. The two posts were one of the few I managed to save before the host thoroughly fucked up the old blog, so here you go. I did combine the two posts into one for you.

Enjoy.

Fucking Crazy Charlie Lafitte….. man, I don’t even know where to start here.

Me and Crazy Charlie Lafitte got to our unit within a month or so of each other, but I don’t recall who got there first. No matter, really – he Section 8’d out of there within about 18 months but damn, anybody that knew him would remember him for the rest of their life. Not that he did anything really spectacular but because it was just a constant stream of odd shit when he was drinking.

You know the one friend you’ve got that when you two go out together, a third party holds the bail money? Crazy Charlie Lafitte was that friend.

Crazy Charlie Lafitte was a slow talking Cajun boy from Louisiana with just a slight accent. He seemed kinda slow but I think he just came across that way because of the way he talked – he always thought of what he was going to say before he ever opened his mouth and depending on the complexity of the question he was asked, it might take him a good 2 or 3 minutes before he’d start to answer. More than once we figured that he was just spacing out and then recovering a little too late. 

He was a Lineman (MOS 36C) in Cable platoon and he was a good soldier. He did a good job and did it without complaint. Doc, his platoon sergeant, told me once that Crazy Charlie Lafitte was one of his most dependable troops. Great guy until he got fucked up.

I Shot Custer - White Cow Bull

VIDEO HERE  (7:34 minutes)

In 1935 David Miller, only sixteen years old,  began driving hours to visit the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to sketch and paint portraits of the warriors who were veterans of the battle of the Little Bighorn.  He painted portraits of seventy two warriors, while painting the warriors he often interviewed them about the famous battle. Miller had learned fourteen different language dialects and sign languages to better understand the warriors stories.  When he interviewed White Cow Bull he learned that White Cow Bull believed he had shot Custer when he was testing the water to forde the river looking for a way to the village. 

He saw Custer fall and then the  soldiers pick up their leader and put him on his horse, holding him up as they galloped off towards last stand hill. 

We hope you enjoy this episode of wildwestfaces.
