On May 8, 1971, a freelance photojournalist was flying over central Vietnam when he looked down and saw something unexpected: A huge peace sign that had been carved into the landscape near Camp Eagle, home of the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division during the Vietnam War.

Fifty-four years have passed since the photo was taken, but the person who created the peace sign was a mystery.

Until now.
