Kim Phuc Phan Thi Signed 20″ x 16″ Photo — “Napalm Girl”, the Face of the Vietnam War, Here Gives Witness to Her Napalm Attack in Vietnam
Powerful and emotional photo signed by Kim Phuc Phan Thi, otherwise known as “Napalm Girl” from the Vietnam War. On this photo, one of the most famous images that captures the horror of war, Kim Phuc writes her harrowing account of being burned by napalm in Vietnam. Composed in black felt-tip, Kim Phuc writes in full,
“On June 8, 1972, we were allowed to play inside of a temple near the bomb shelter. I remember after lunch, we heard the noise of some burning outside and suddenly, the soldier asked the children to run out of the temple. I saw the planes were very fast, very loud. As a child, I didn’t know anything. And I turned my head. I saw four bombs landing, then suddenly, the fire was everywhere around me. I didn’t see anybody else. And then the fire burned off my clothes, and I saw the fire on my left arm. I used my right hand to wrap it up. That’s why my right hand got burned, as well. I put the fire out with my hand. I was terrified. Then, I kept running and running and running, until I was too tired to run any more. And then a soldier poured water over my skin. At that moment, I passed out. Phan Thi Kim Phuc, 9-year-old ‘Napalm girl’.”
Kim Phuc then writes the famous directive by Henry Kissinger regarding the bombing campaign in Vietnam and Cambodia: “‘Anything that flies on anything that moves.’ / – Henry Kissinger”.
