A-1 Skyraider Pilot's Handwritten Mission Log, December (Vietnam War Era), Page 57

A pilot's handwritten mission log records the rhythm of combat flying in the Douglas A-1 Skyraider, call sign 'Spad,' during the Vietnam War. Entries for troops-in-contact strikes, search-and-rescue support, and interdiction sorties over Laos and South Vietnam offer a rare first-person glimpse into the daily operational tempo of A-1 squadrons.
