The Don Englebreston Collection
Gallery: LW Photos
A pilot's-eye tour of the Vietnam War air campaign, from A-1 Skyraiders banking over the coastline and parked wingtip-folded on the ramp to cockpit views through the gunsight pipper, a Cobra gunship lifting off, and the control tower at a busy USAF airfield. The Larry Warren A-1 collection pairs these flying images with the texture of squadron life — a hallway at Da Nang in 1969, the 'Zorro' Air Commando hooches, and a Snoopy Flying Ace comic clipping kept as a keepsake.
