Folded Wing Detail, Douglas A-1 Skyraider, Aviation Museum Hangar Display

A Douglas A-1 Skyraider displays its folded wing, a design feature that allowed carrier-based aircraft to be stored compactly aboard ship. This preserved example, seen here in a museum hangar, represents the versatile attack aircraft flown extensively during the Vietnam War in close air support and rescue escort roles. Project: 219280
