Great choice, Greg. Archetypal image of the Vietnam war. Although the world, and the war, were mostly in colour by the ime the Vietnam war rolled around.

Pilots of the 5/I "Puma" Fighter wing of the Royal Hungarian Air Force somewhere on the Eastern front in early 1943. The aircraft is a Messerscmitt Bf-109F-4. The pilot holding the propeller is fighter ace György Debrődy, who finished the war with 204 combat missions and 26 confirmed victories. On November 16 1944 he attacked a Yak-9 head on. The enemy plane exploded, but his last cannon shell hit Debrődy in the stomach. The Hungarian managed to crash land before he lsot consciousness. He recovered and re-joined his unit in 1945, but he wasn't allowed to fly any more combat missions.
