This handwritten page from a personal combat log records a series of search-and-rescue escort missions flown by U.S. Air Force "Sandy" A-1 Skyraider pilots during the Vietnam War. Among the entries is the 6 October mission in which Sandy and Sandust flights protected the recovery of two downed rescue helicopter crews, "Knife 61" and "Knife 62" — an action later commended in an official letter of appreciation from the 21st Special Operations Squadron.
