A close look at the Douglas A-1 Skyraider in Southeast Asia: manual cutaway and ejection-seat diagrams, underwing loads of cluster bomb dispensers and rocket pods, formation shots of the RESCUE-marked 'Miss Aileen,' and a static memorial example wearing tail code 'TC.' Also here are the hazards of the job — a captured Soviet-pattern 37mm anti-aircraft gun and an emergency touchdown on a foam-treated runway — rounding out the story of the 'Spad' and its Sandy rescue-escort crews.
