Photographed in 2013 at a veteran's home, this large vinyl banner - titled 'SPADS for MACVSOG' - was prepared as display material for the Special Operations Association Reunion. Its montage of period photographs honors the Douglas A-1 Skyraider, nicknamed the 'Spad,' and the U.S. Air Force 56th Special Operations Wing crews who flew it from Thailand in support of MACV-SOG reconnaissance teams operating across the borders of Laos and Cambodia. The central aircraft, marked '628' and wearing a painted sharkmouth, is shown with engine running on a Southeast Asian flight line. The image is a record of the banner as reunion artwork, not an original wartime photograph. Project: 219861
