U.S. Air Force Officer Posing with Propeller Display Beneath "SPAD" Sign
An Air Force officer poses beside a Douglas A-1 Skyraider propeller displayed beneath a "SPAD" sign, the affectionate nickname given to the aircraft for its old-fashioned propeller design reminiscent of the WWI-era SPAD fighter. Skyraider squadrons flew vital close air support and search-and-rescue escort missions throughout the Vietnam War. Project: 219603
