Gun is of American make and factory officials said it had been captured from the French at Dien Bien Phu.In one of the most controlled journalistic missions of the Vietnam War, Lee Lockwood working through Black Star was granted rare access to North Vietnam. Lee Lockwood became the first Western photographer in more than a decade to be allowed inside North Vietnam. Working under strict supervision, he spent 28 days documenting a country under constant bombardment. The result a long, heavily illustrated essay titled
“North Vietnam Under Siege”- appeared as the cover story of Life Magazine on April 7, 1967.
Yet within those limits, something extraordinary emerged: A society adapting to survive, A war fought not just by soldiers—but by everyone!
This collection brings together 12 original DBW gelatin silver photographs from that assignment - a rare, complete visual narrative of life inside a closed wartime society.
In words and photos, Mr. Lockwood portrayed the life of a country then under heavy bombardment by United States forces: bare, ruined villages; deserted factories; a boy with a missing leg, lost to a bomb. There were also calmer, quieter images of farmers, flower sellers and hemp dyers plying their trades. His most striking encounter, in Hanoi, was with Lt. Cmdr. Richard A. Stratton, an American Navy pilot who had been captured in January 1967. As Mr. Lockwood and other foreign newsmen listened, a man identifying himself as Commander Stratton read over a loudspeaker a long “confession” attacking United States involvement in the region.
