Preserved Douglas A-1 Skyraider Taxiing at Air Show, Tennessee

A restored Douglas A-1 Skyraider taxis at a Tennessee air show. Rugged and heavily armed, the Skyraider served as a mainstay close-air-support and rescue-escort aircraft for the U.S. Air Force and Navy throughout the Vietnam War, prized for its ability to loiter over the battlefield and absorb battle damage.
