The Don Englebreston Collection
Battle Damage Inspection on Aircraft Fuselage, A-1 Skyraider Collection, Vietnam War Era
A jagged hole torn through an aircraft's skin bears silent witness to ground fire encountered during a mission over Vietnam. A-1 Skyraiders regularly absorbed battle damage while flying low and slow to deliver close air support and rescue escort, and maintenance crews worked tirelessly to patch aircraft and return them to service.
