Two veterans of the Southeast Asian air war in conversation at the 38th Special Operations Association Reunion, Las Vegas, 22 October 2014. The orange one-piece party suit at center is squadron off-duty dress; its wearer, the collection's owner, flew A-1 Skyraiders from Da Nang in support of MACV-SOG reconnaissance teams. At right, a flight jacket carries a 'Yankee Air Pirate' patch — American aircrew appropriated the North Vietnamese propaganda term for themselves — above a Laotian-lettered insignia from operations over that country. The banner behind them salutes the 50th anniversary of MACV-SOG, formed in 1964. Project: 219867
