Gallery: Gary Hawes JPEG WM Lg
Two A-1 Skyraiders in formation over the rice paddies of South Vietnam, bracketed by off-duty scenes at Da Nang Air Base in November 1970: munitions troops Tom Brown and Dan Neubert over a card game, and a "Spad Party" at the DOOM Club. The pairing shows both halves of Skyraider life, the heavily armed propeller-driven aircraft prized for loitering over targets far longer than jets, and the ground crews and aircrew whose camaraderie kept them flying.
