Nine Air Commando officers of training class "Express 15" pose before an A-1 Skyraider, in a photograph later annotated with each man's name — including two, Capt Donald C. Patch and Maj Fred L. McPherson, noted as killed in action in 1965 and 1966. Photographs like this one, taken at Hurlburt Field before deployment to Southeast Asia, serve as both a training record and a memorial to the men who did not return. Project: 218839
