Scale Model of Douglas A-1 Skyraider, Tail Code 'TC 665', Displayed Under Dome
A precision-built scale model of the Douglas A-1 Skyraider, marked with the tail code 'TC 665' and finished in the camouflage scheme worn by U.S. Air Force Skyraiders during the Vietnam War. The rugged, propeller-driven A-1 was prized for its long loiter time and heavy ordnance capacity, making it a mainstay of close air support and Air Commando/Special Operations missions, including strikes in support of ground forces and search-and-rescue escort throughout Southeast Asia.
