The nose art 'Lieutenant America' adorns this restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider, photographed at a 2019 warbird gathering. The Skyraider was a rugged, propeller-driven attack aircraft that provided vital close air support during the Vietnam War, flying alongside Air Force Air Commandos in defense of ground forces and covert reconnaissance teams. Restored aircraft like this one, still flown today, honor that legacy for new generations. Project: 219252
