A-1 Skyraider Engine and Propeller Maintenance, Cowling Open

With cowling panels open, an A-1 Skyraider's Wright R-3350 radial engine and four-bladed propeller are exposed for maintenance. The Skyraider's rugged, easily serviceable powerplant helped keep these aircraft flying demanding combat and rescue-escort sorties throughout the Vietnam War. Project: 218950
