Over the years there have been several high-profile claims that photographers credited with taking iconic images were actually frauds. The latest of these is the ongoing controversy around Nick Ut, who is accused of stealing credit for the famous Vietnam War image The Terror Of War.
More commonly known as Napalm Girl, the photo depicts a disturbing scene of a naked girl, Phan Thi Kim Phuc, running towards the camera crying with fear, her clothes having been burned away in a napalm strike on a nearby village. Phuc was only nine years old at the time she was immortalized in the photo.
