A Douglas A-1 Skyraider, nicknamed 'Spad' by its crews, sits on the ramp at Ubon Royal Thai Air Force Base showing damage sustained during a combat sortie over Southeast Asia. Prized for its heavy ordnance load, long loiter time, and ability to absorb ground fire, the piston-engine A-1 flew close air support and search-and-rescue escort missions throughout the Vietnam War.
