Three U.S. Air Force officers pose beneath the nose of a Douglas A-1 Skyraider attack aircraft, identified by later annotation as Capt Lance Shotwell, LtCol William H. Latham, and Capt Leslie R. "Lee" Mazzarella. The photograph, marked '72-09,' likely documents an Air Commando training class or squadron assignment during the Vietnam War era, when the piston-engine Skyraider remained in frontline USAF service for close air support and rescue escort missions despite the shift toward jet aircraft.
