Natural-Metal A-1 Skyraider on Flight Line, Vietnam War Era (Bob Karre Collection)
A bare-metal A-1 Skyraider sits on the flight line at a Vietnam-era airbase, its massive radial engine and propeller dominating the frame. Unlike the camouflaged Skyraiders flown by the U.S. Air Force, this aircraft's natural-metal finish is typical of Vietnamese Air Force or earlier-war Skyraiders operating alongside American forces.
