The Don Englebreston Collection
Gallery: Jax for 2017 A-1 Reunion
Flight-line and mission photographs of Vietnam War A-1 Skyraiders, from ground crews servicing a minigun pod and tending "TS 242" beside a crash rescue truck to strike camera frames catching ordnance detonating on a hillside target. Alongside the combat imagery are the human moments of squadron life: a pilot climbing down from his cockpit after a sortie, a young airman doused in a traditional dunking ritual, and a candid scene at a forward base camp preserved in the collection of A-1 pilot A. Jackson "Jax" Roberts.
