Four-Man Aviation Panel at a Symposium Session, SOAR XXXVIII, Las Vegas, 22 October 2014

A four-man panel addresses a session at the 38th Special Operations Association Reunion, Las Vegas, 22 October 2014. Aviation motifs dominate the panelists' clothing — an embroidered aircraft silhouette, an Air Force ballcap, an eagle-embroidered shirt — consistent with a symposium on air support for MACV-SOG cross-border operations, a session format organized at these reunions by veterans of the A-1 Skyraider detachment at Da Nang. Symposium panels of this kind are how oral history is transmitted at a reunion: veterans speaking directly to an audience of their peers. Project: 219867
