A-1 Skyraider Nose and Engine Detail, Tail Number 517, Vietnam Flight Line

A close-up view of an A-1 Skyraider (tail number 517) parked in a hardened revetment on a Vietnam War airbase flight line. The Skyraider's massive radial engine and rugged airframe made it a favorite of pilots flying close air support and rescue escort missions throughout the conflict. Project: 218905
