A USAF A-1 Skyraider, tail code "TT-779," cruises over Vietnamese delta terrain at dusk in this air-to-air photograph taken from a companion aircraft. Nicknamed the "Spad" for its propeller-driven, WWII-style design, the rugged Skyraider served throughout the Vietnam War flying close air support and "Sandy" rescue escort missions, often supporting special operations forces on the ground.
