Veterans and guests gather beneath the imposing propeller of a Douglas A-1 Skyraider during a 2014 air show. The Skyraider, a rugged single-engine attack aircraft, served with distinction in Korea and Vietnam, where Air Force 'Sandy' pilots flew it on dangerous rescue escort missions to protect downed airmen. Preserved aircraft like this one, and the events built around them, keep alive the memory of the pilots and crews who flew them in combat. Project: 219310
