Single-Engine Attack Aircraft Overhead, Vietnam/Laos Border Region

A single-engine attack aircraft, likely an A-1 Skyraider, banks overhead as seen from the jungle floor below. Aircraft like this provided vital close air support for MACV-SOG reconnaissance teams operating deep in enemy-controlled territory along the Laos-Vietnam border, including during Operation Tailwind in September 1970.
