A page from a personal Air Force pilot's flight logbook traces the transition from training to combat: night range missions in the A-1E, proficiency flights in the T-39 Sabreliner, and finally, beginning 30 September 1969, the pilot's first combat sorties flying the A-1 Skyraider out of Pleiku Air Base, South Vietnam, including a search-and-rescue mission and a diversion to Nakhon Phanom, Thailand for fuel. Logbooks like this offer an intimate, mission-by-mission record of a Vietnam War pilot's operational history. Project: 219650
