The cap may be a mismatch, as close as I could get for picture taking, but I think it works.

*(OK, the G-suit, I have absolutely no idea what it’s from, I put it there as a representation only)
USAF Capt. Pilot 71st Air Command Squadron, (Tac-Air) RVN:
The B-52, demands respect, still in service today, the “BUFF” as the air-crew affectionately often called them (about Big Ugly Fat F____r) were Serious Air Support, the amount of Hell that a B-52 can unleash was stunningly horrifying in Vietnam, they could be quite effective at defeating the enemy on the ground. They had not acquired the ability to carry multiple cruise missiles at the time, but they did have nuclear capability, and the “dumb-bomb” or regular iron bombs, factor alone, uprooting trees, and leveling hamlets, clearing an area of a mile of any life or vegetation at a time, they were reachable by SAM Missles however, and from the NVAF Mig fighter Aircraft over Northern Vietnam. I don’t know much, but I do know, one did not want to be underneath these bombers when they dropped their ordnance; it would cut a clean sweep for miles, killing every living thing above ground! People, animals, trees, bugs, everything from the concussion alone, but the Vietnamese were famous for their tunnel complexes.
