The Don Englebreston Collection
Gallery: Doc B&W Scans
Black-and-white scans from the Doc Blanchard Collection, ranging from a candid portrait of a USAF pilot reading the newspaper to servicemen servicing truck-mounted communications gear and a pilot boarding a shark-mouthed A-1 Skyraider. Together they pair the quiet downtime and unglamorous maintenance work of Vietnam War squadron life with the nose-art tradition that made Skyraider units unmistakable over Vietnam and Laos.
