|Dana Stone showed up at
the doorstep of the UPI bureau in Saigon in 1965 after buying a ticket
to Vietnam on a freighter. He quickly became one of the finest young photographers
covering the war.
He and Sean Flynn, the son of movie star Errol Flynn, soon formed a close friendship and the war became a great adventure for both of them. They often rode to scenes of action on their motorcycles. In 1970, they were riding those bikes down a road in Cambodia when they were stopped and executed in a field by the Khmer Rouge.
