Man van het jaar #17

A lone figure stands on a rooftop amid scattered debris, silhouetted against a burning orange sky thick with military helicopters — an arresting image that immediately conjures the chaos of Saigon's final hours in 1975. The subtitle De laatste Amerikaanse piloot in Saigon sets the stage for what promises to be an intense, historically charged chapter in the Man van het jaar series. Pécau, Fabiani, and Fernandez deliver a cover that is both spare and cinematic, letting the weight of a pivotal moment in history speak for itself.
