Original 1966 LIFE IN VIETNAM Weekly News Magazine – No. 55 – April 9, 1966
Offered here is an original Vietnam War-era issue of Life in Vietnam – The Weekly News Magazine, published in Saigon, South Vietnam.
This is Issue No. 55, dated April 9, 1966, with the original cover price of VN$15.
What makes this particular issue especially interesting is its dramatic military medical vessel cover, prominently displaying a large Red Cross insignia. The image gives this issue considerably stronger military appeal than many of the cultural and scenic covers found on other issues of Life in Vietnam.
Life in Vietnam was an English-language publication documenting South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Issues contained contemporary reporting, military-related stories, Vietnamese culture and daily life, photographs, travel information and fascinating advertisements for businesses operating in Vietnam during the 1960s.
These magazines provide an incredible period snapshot of Saigon and South Vietnam during the American military presence and are becoming increasingly difficult to encounter as original surviving copies.
