On this date, June 8, 1972 nine-year-old Phan Thi Kim Phuc was burned with napalm dropped by a US bomber flying in the skies of Vietnam.
The horror and brutality of what the US was doing in Vietnam was captured by photographer Nick Ut.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning picture became world famous, indeed, probably a turning point in the Vietnam war.
