Vietnam War-era snapshots of two USAF airmen posing beneath a Special Operations Wing sign bearing the name of their commander, Lt. Col. J.W. Wold, and a pilot standing beside his A-1 Skyraider and its underwing ordnance. Keepsake photographs like these, taken between missions, give a rare human glimpse of the Air Commando airmen who flew unconventional warfare and close air support sorties over Southeast Asia.
