Douglas A-1 Skyraider Under Restoration, Hangar Interior View

A Douglas A-1 Skyraider undergoes restoration work in a hangar, its Wright R-3350 radial engine exposed and wings folded in typical storage configuration. Painted in Southeast Asia camouflage, the Skyraider served as a rugged, heavily armed close-air-support and 'Sandy' rescue-escort aircraft throughout the Vietnam War, prized for its long loiter time and ability to absorb battle damage.
