Handwritten A-1 Skyraider Pilot Mission Log, PACAF Form 20b, Page 133 (March-May, Vietnam War Era)
A pilot's handwritten mission log, recorded in pencil on a standard PACAF worksheet, documents a string of A-1 Skyraider ('Spad') combat sorties flown in Southeast Asia. Entries track bombing runs, ferry flights, and search-and-rescue missions coordinated with forward air controllers such as Covey and Elliot, including one mission in which a rescue helicopter was damaged by ground fire. Personal logs like this one offer a rare first-person record of the pace and variety of missions flown during the war. Project: 219914
