AIR FORCE PHOTOS

Families always have been essential to the Air Force

Articles in this display include a pre-addressed postcard to Ton Duc Thang, the president of North Vietnam, to enlist his support in determining the fate of Lt. Larry Potts at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. Despite repeated appeals like this one, North Vietnam remained unsympathetic. The black flag is the official POW/MIA flag, which is flown six times a year at designated federal sites. It was designed in 1971 by Newt Heisley, a World War II pilot and advertising artist who never profited from the uncopyrighted design. (U.S. Air Force photo)
