The mascot hog of Operating Location Alpha Alpha stands draped in a blanket hand-lettered OLAA, in a drum-strewn compound at a forward Southeast Asian base. The added titling identifies the parent unit as the 56th Special Operations Wing, which controlled A-1 Skyraider operations from Nakhon Phanom, Thailand. Unit mascots and hand-painted unit blankets were a familiar expression of squadron identity in Southeast Asia. This file is a composite working element, a low-resolution period photograph with modern lettering applied, prepared for a Special Operations Association Reunion banner. Project: 219860
