The Don Englebreston Collection

Gallery: Skyraider

Close views of a restored A-1 Skyraider on static display at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation, taking in the radial engine cowling, original nose and cockpit stenciling, and the armament selector switch labeled for rockets and bombs. The surviving data blocks and mechanically direct cockpit controls show exactly what pilots and ground crews worked with on close air support and rescue escort missions over Vietnam.
