Douglas A-1 Skyraider '6T-242' Taxiing at Vietnam Airfield
A camouflaged A-1 Skyraider, tail-coded '6T-242,' taxis out for a mission at a South Vietnamese airfield. Loaded with external ordnance and flown by Air Commando and allied Vietnamese Air Force pilots, the Skyraider was prized for its heavy weapons load and long time on station, making it one of the most effective close air support aircraft of the Vietnam War.
