One of the few places you'd see mention of our involvement in Viet Nam before late 1964 was in comic books such as Dell's Jungle War Stories. This story is from issue #5, October 1963. Art is by Maurice Whitman and Vince Colletta. The cover is most likely by Vic Prezio
There was an episode the "The Lieutenant", the first series Gene Roddenberry produced, which had William T Rice (familiar?) take a tour in 'Nam.
ReplyDeleteAlso an episode of "Kraft Suspense Theater" with Robert Fuller (of all people) as an aid worker there.
We were beginning to hear about it 63 - 64.
