James Loesch, now 68, spent his first few weeks in Phu Loi, South Vietnam with the 128th AHC Assault Helicopter Company and later joined the 335th Assault Helicopter Company as a gunship crew chief. He documented his year in a series of photos where he went from a fresh-faced recruit to someone hardened by the nature of the war.
