Two Airmen in a Squadron Club or Ready Room, Vietnam Era — Bob Karre Photo Collection
Two airmen relax in a squadron club during the Vietnam War era, one wearing a patch-covered flight jacket bearing the name "SANDY" -- the radio callsign used by A-1 Skyraider pilots flying rescue escort missions to protect downed airmen. Informal photographs like this one capture the camaraderie and squadron identity that defined off-duty life at forward air bases. Project: 218943
