Douglas A-1 Skyraider with Shark-Mouth Nose Art, Armed with Bombs, over Open Water at Dusk
A Douglas A-1 Skyraider bares its teeth — literally. The hand-painted shark mouth on this aircraft's engine cowling continues a nose-art tradition stretching back to World War II fighters. Loaded with bombs and flying low over open water at dusk, this Skyraider embodies the rugged, hard-working character that made the type a legend of the Vietnam War. Project: 219827
