Close-Up of A-1 Skyraider Engine Cowling, Propeller, and Ordnance During Maintenance, Don Engebretsen Slide Collection
Maintenance crews open the engine cowling of an A-1 Skyraider for servicing, exposing the powerful radial engine that made the aircraft a rugged workhorse of the Vietnam War. Ground crews performed this kind of demanding, hands-on maintenance daily to keep Skyraiders flying combat and rescue escort missions. Project: 219603
