Vietnam-Era A-1 Skyraider Pilot's Flight Logbook Pages

Pages from a Vietnam-era A-1 Skyraider pilot's personal flight logbook, meticulously recording individual combat sorties by call sign and mission type — including SOG support orbits, search-and-rescue (SAR) alert missions, and flights to and from Bien Hoa and Da Nang air bases. Logbooks like this offer a rare, first-hand statistical record of the intensity and variety of missions flown by 'Spad' pilots supporting special operations forces in Southeast Asia. Project: 219028
