Douglas A-1 Skyraider Cockpit, Left Console Detail
The left console of a Douglas A-1 Skyraider cockpit, showing the dense array of switches and placards used to control ordnance, fuel systems, and carrier-landing equipment such as the arresting hook. The Skyraider's rugged, weapons-heavy design made it a mainstay of close air support and search-and-rescue escort missions throughout the Vietnam War. Project: 219915
