Propeller Hub Detail, Douglas A-1 Skyraider "#665," Tennessee Air Museum
A detailed view of the four-blade propeller hub on a preserved Douglas A-1 Skyraider, on display at a Tennessee air museum. The Skyraider's powerful Wright R-3350 radial engine and paddle-blade propeller gave the aircraft the low-speed control and heavy ordnance capacity that made it invaluable for close air support and search-and-rescue escort missions during the Vietnam War.
