A Vietnam War rescue mission seen from the ground up: a "Sandy" A-1 Skyraider on SAR alert, a camouflaged Sikorsky HH-3E "Jolly Green Giant" on the flight line, remote dirt airstrips carved through jungle, and a quiet South Vietnamese city street. Drawn from the Tom Stump collection, the images pair the aircraft and forward strips that made combat search and rescue possible with the everyday civilian scenes American servicemen encountered in-country.
