Gallery: Jim Seith Reworked Pictures
A-1 Skyraider pilots unwind in their squadron ready room during the Vietnam War, gathered beneath a hand-lettered sign laying out the "Spad House Rules" in tribute to their aircraft's beloved nickname. Informal spaces like this gave aircrews somewhere to relax, joke, and decompress between missions, and this reworked image from the Jim Seith pictures preserves that off-duty side of squadron life.
