The Douglas AD/A-1 Skyraider: Part Two covers Skyraider Fleet and Utility squadrons with text on each squadron along with photos and squadron patches/insignia when available. Because the Skyraider's service life bridges from post WWII; through the Korean War and into the Vietnam War; the AD/A-1 squadrons went through all the confusing redesignations and disestablishments of the 1950s. In some cases the same squadron designation was applied three times during the life of the Skyraiders in the Navy. This volume covers 95 squadrons that flew this amazing aircraft.

1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Memories of San Francisco in the 40sBy Dan PoynterRobert Talley is two years older and we both grew up in San Francisco in the 1940s.We never met but we lived fairly near to each other.I downloaded this book free via KDP Select on a free day. I would have paid for it.The book brought back to memory many places and incidents as I grew up.The author did a lot of research. You can be assured that dates; places; and activities are accurate.Talley is an engaging writer making the book fun to read.If you grew up in the 40s; if you are from the San Francisco Bay area; or if you want to read about what was happening on the west coast during WW-II; you will find this book a must-read.
