Squadron Building 719 with 'SPAD' Sign and Mounted Propeller, Southeast Asia Air Base
A squadron building marked 'SPAD' — the pilots' affectionate nickname for the A-1 Skyraider — stands decorated with a salvaged propeller at a Southeast Asian air base. Personal touches like this reflected the close-knit culture of Skyraider squadrons that flew demanding rescue and close air support missions throughout the Vietnam War. Project: 218963
