A-1 Skyraider ('Spad') Squadron Building Emblem and Jeep, Vietnam War

A crossed-propeller emblem and squadron of silhouette 'Spad' markings decorate a Vietnam War-era squadron building wall, with a U.S. Air Force Jeep bearing the same nickname parked nearby. A-1 Skyraider pilots proudly embraced the 'Spad' callsign, a nod to the aircraft's WWI-biplane-era ruggedness despite serving in a jet age war. Project: 218965
