This annotated class photograph identifies eleven Air Force pilots of training group 'Express 12,' posed before an A-1 Skyraider at Hurlburt Field. Cyan labels record each man's name, and for several -- Maj Wallace A. Ford, Capt Oliver C. Chase Jr., and Capt Paul T. McClellan Jr. -- the dates they were later killed in action, in 1965 and 1968. This photograph stands as both a training-class portrait and a memorial, illustrating the human cost borne by Air Commando pilots who trained together before deploying to fly Skyraider combat missions in Southeast Asia.
