USAF Pilot in Flight Suit with Personal Camera Gear Beside "SPADS" Support Equipment
A smiling Air Force officer in a flight suit poses with his personal camera gear beside squadron ground equipment stenciled "SPADS" - the affectionate nickname pilots gave the propeller-driven A-1 Skyraider. Many aircrew carried personal cameras to document their tours, leaving behind informal snapshots that complement official military photography of the Vietnam War era. Project: 218943
