Off duty, aircrew relax and celebrate together in this candid snapshot from the Vietnam War era. The men's flight suits bear the informal squadron patches common to Southeast Asia combat units of the period, including an 'Air Pirate' skull-and-crossbones emblem and a Jolly Green Giant patch associated with Air Force combat search-and-rescue helicopter crews. Photographs like this one, taken in squadron clubs and living quarters, preserve the everyday camararaderie of aircrew life between combat missions. Project: 218896
