Dutch photojournalist Hugh Van Es, best known for his picture of South Vietnamese civilians clambering up a ladder into a US helicopter on the roof of a CIA building as Saigon fell to North Vietnamese troops died last Friday in Hong Kong where he had lived for over 35 years. When the North Vietnamese arrived he greeted them wearing a camouflage hat with “Dutch Press” written on it in Vietnamese.
Later he was one of very few photojournalists to get into Kabul when the Soviets invaded, making an escape from the airport where those who had tried to get into the country were being put on a flight out.
In 2005 he was among 60 people who returned for a 30th anniversary media reunion in Saigon.
As well as obituaries in leading newspapers (and here) there is a small gallery of his pictures on the BBC site.
