A page from a USAF pilot's personal flight logbook, 1969, records the transition from stateside training to combat flying in the A-1 Skyraider. The entries trace a pilot's first combat mission near Pleiku on September 30, 1969, followed by early October sorties that included a low-fuel diversion to Nakhon Phanom during a search-and-rescue mission — an intimate, firsthand record of a Skyraider pilot's introduction to combat in Southeast Asia.
