It has been 40 years since a nine-year-old Vietnamese girl - Phan Thi Kim Phuc - was photographed running naked during the Vietnam War.

The girl was photographed by AP lensman Nick Ut, on 8 June, 1972, as she and other children ran down a road near Trang Bang (north of Saigon), screaming, "Too hot! Too hot!". Her back was burning with napalm at the time. There is nothing to be seen in the background, except smoke. The military attack was by the South Vietnamese Air Force and was coordinated by an American military advisor.
