'The Spads' Squadron Roster Board and Suspended A-1 Skyraider Model, Vietnam War Era
Inside a Vietnam War-era squadron operations building, a roster board nicknamed 'The Spads' — after the Douglas A-1 Skyraider — displays photographs and biographies of the unit's commander, operations officer, and pilots organized into A and B Flights. A detailed model of the squadron's aircraft hangs overhead, a familiar sight in the ready rooms where Skyraider pilots gathered between combat missions. Project: 218965
