Commemorative Plaques, mementos from American Wreckage in Vietnam, a group of four cast aluminium commemorative plaques, with profile portraits of Mao in relief, made from salvaged aluminium retrieved from the wreckages of downed enemy aircraft over Vietnam, but made in China (4).

Notes:
Although America's direct participation with the active fighting in Vietnam essentially began with the Bay of Tonkin incident of 4th August 1964, the creation of these souvenir plaques began in about 1965 and lasted until 1968/early 1969.
