Douglas A-1 Skyraider "Lieutenant America" - Engine Cowling Detail During Ground Servicing
Ground crew members service the engine of "Lieutenant America," a restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider attack aircraft, before its next demonstration flight. Introduced too late for World War II, the rugged single-engine Skyraider became legendary for its heavy ordnance capacity and long loiter time during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. The patriotic "V for Victory" nose art reflects the wartime spirit these aircraft carried into combat. Project: 219306
