Taken from the cockpit of an A-1 Skyraider during a combat sortie over the mountainous jungle of Vietnam or Laos, this photograph shows the aircraft's underwing ordnance load, including external fuel tanks and rocket pods. The Skyraider's heavy weapons capacity and long loiter time made it a mainstay of close air support and search-and-rescue escort missions flown by Air Commando and allied squadrons throughout the war.
