The Don Englebreston Collection
Gallery: Don Engebretsen Personal High Def Vietnam Scans
High-definition scans of A-1 Skyraiders aloft in towering tropical cumulus and parked on the ramp with bold shark-mouth nose art, photographed from companion aircraft during the Vietnam War. Even the heavily underexposed frame earns its place, showing both the beauty of Southeast Asian skies and the technical limits of shooting film from a single-seat cockpit in combat.
