A-1 Skyraider in Flight Over Jungle Terrain, Air-to-Air Photograph, Southeast Asia, circa 1969
A Douglas A-1 Skyraider banks over the mountainous jungle terrain of Southeast Asia, photographed from a companion aircraft during a Vietnam War-era mission. Slow but heavily armed and famously durable, the Skyraider was prized for its ability to loiter over the battlefield and absorb battle damage while delivering close air support and rescue escort for downed airmen.
