Douglas A-1 Skyraider "Lieutenant America" on Display, Tennessee Museum of Aviation
A Douglas A-1 Skyraider, nicknamed "Lieutenant America," sits on display at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation. The rugged, propeller-driven Skyraider served with distinction during the Vietnam War, flying close air support and combat rescue escort ("Sandy") missions for downed airmen. This example is preserved in period camouflage with hand-painted nose art honoring its wartime legacy. Project: 219533
