Gallery: John Kiland
From the John Kiland Collection, a close look at Skyraider maintenance: a Wright R-3350 radial stripped of its propeller, its eighteen cylinders laid bare, the engine that gave the A-1 its remarkable load-carrying ability and reliability. A second frame opens the accessory section during overhaul, revealing the tangle of hoses, wiring, and components behind every hour a warbird spends in the air.
