A-1 Skyraider Engine Start with Ground Crew, Vietnam War Era
Ground crew signal to the pilot of an A-1 Skyraider as its radial engine coughs to life on the flight line, the aircraft already loaded with bombs and rocket pods for a combat mission. The Skyraider's air-cooled radial engine was known for its distinctive smoky start, a familiar sight on Vietnam War-era flight lines. Project: 219080
