A unit sign for the 56th Special Operations Wing "SPADS," from the Larry Warren collection, displaying the nickname carried by the wing's A-1 Skyraider crews in Vietnam. The 56th SOW flew close air support, interdiction, and search-and-rescue escort missions across Southeast Asia, and this hand-lettered marker stood as the everyday emblem of that work.
