Gallery: Larry Cavender 20b Forms

A page from Larry Cavender's personal flying log, kept on a standard PACAF Form 20b, recording his missions over the Republic of Vietnam from 3 to 6 July. The "SPAD" call signs mark Cavender as an A-1 Skyraider pilot, and the entries — a ferry flight, a functional check flight, and search-and-rescue sorties flown with a Forward Air Controller — preserve the everyday rhythm of a combat pilot's career in granular detail.
