Airmen Gathered Beneath "SPADS" Door Sign, Vietnam War Squadron Area, Doc Blanchard Collection
Airmen relax in a squadron common area beneath a door marked "SPADS" — the nickname for the A-1 Skyraider aircraft their unit flew during the Vietnam War. Informal photographs like this one preserve the everyday camaraderie of Air Commando and attack squadron personnel between missions. Project: 218929
