Engine Start Sequence, A-1 Skyraider "Lieutenant America" with Pilot Aboard

The big radial engine of "Lieutenant America," a preserved Douglas A-1 Skyraider, turns over as the pilot prepares to taxi. The distinctive sound and power of the Skyraider's engine made it a formidable close air support aircraft throughout its Vietnam War service. Project: 219944
