U.S. Navy Jet Wreckage Under Recovery by Crash Crane, Vietnam War-Era Joint-Use Airfield
The tail of a wrecked U.S. Navy jet, marked 'NAVY' and coded 'NP,' is hoisted by a crash-recovery crane at a joint-use air base in South Vietnam. Bases such as Da Nang hosted Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps aircraft side by side, and recovery crews from multiple services often worked together to clear the flight line after an accident.
