Douglas Skyraider A-1 in Power Dive
The Douglas A-1 Skyraider photographed at the 2009 Thunder Over Michigan air show, Ypsilanti, Michigan (USA). Even in the age of jet aircraft, the Skyraider distinguished itself as a ground-support attack plane in Vietnam. It was also a superb fighter plane, in fact the only piston-engine plane to shoot down a MiG-17.
