A row of bombs hangs beneath the wing of an A-1E Skyraider attack aircraft at Qui Nhon Air Base, South Vietnam, while a ground crewman inspects the ordnance before a mission. The rugged, propeller-driven Skyraider carried heavy bomb loads for close air support and search-and-rescue escort duty throughout the Vietnam War, valued for its long loiter time and survivability over the battlefield.
