A Navy Tour

About the Book

These black and white photographs were captured from 1966 to 1970, and paint in silver a historical journey through the Sixties. As a Navy photographer, William Elmore Gann traveled on assignments from the Summer of Love in San Francisco to Richard Nixion's 1968 Inaguration in Washington D. C. He posed as a gay journalist to photograph and infiltrate the Benny Boys of the Philippine Islands, and went on to the combat zones of the Vietnam War.
