Forty years after the end of the Vietnam war a collection of 58 photographs taken by the AP is being exhibited for the first time in the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi.
The exhibition marks a homecoming that officials say is historic and an emblem of changing times.
AP's Saigon bureau won six Pulitzer Prizes for its Vietnam coverage, including four for photography.
All four are on display among the works by 21 photographers whose pictures are part of the news cooperative's archive of thousands of wartime photographs.
Among them is Huynh Cong "Nick" Ut's 1972 photograph of a screaming 9-year-old girl, after an aerial napalm attack burned the clothes off her body.
It is known as "Napalm Girl," and earned Ut a 1973 Pulitzer and celebrity status in Vietnam.
Major celebrations in Vietnam marked the recent 40th anniversary of defeating the Americans on April 30, 1975, when northern communist forces seized control of US-backed South Vietnam, ending the war.
