Haiti Through The Lens of U.S. Air Force Photographers

A few Images taken during the Haiti relief efforts viewed through the lens of U.S. Air Force photographers. Most of the images tell the hopeful side of the story. They'll lift the spirit a bit and they show human resilience. Visit the U.S. Air Force photo gallery to view the entire ongoing documentation.
