National Geographic Vol.128, No. 3, September 1965 "United States Air Force
Of Planes and Men" pages 302-3 has the picture you are looking for. It shows
2 Voodoos, 6 Delta Daggers, 1 Navy Sky Warrior and 1 Super Sabre. One of
the Delta Daggers pictured is 56-1161 which was lost in a Viet Cong attack
on Da Nang, Jul 1, 1965 so it had already been destroyed by the time this
picture made it to press. This was one of my favorite issues as kid growing
up as a SAC brat.

Wrong. F-102's did serve in both Vietnam and Thailand (which is why
every once in a while you see a photo of a Delta Dagger in SEA camo).
If you can get a hold of an old National Geographic from that period
that covered the war (sorry, can't recall which issue...), you'll note
that a photo of Tan Son Nhut (or whatever the spelling was) showed
F-102's sitting in sandbagged revetments. I believe three were listed
as combat losses, one to a Mig, the remaining two to ground fire, and
a few others were lost during VC sapper/rocket attacks on the ground.
Served as interceptors, some escort duty, and even ground
attack--there was even an experamental program where they went after
NVA cooking fires at night with their IR Falcons. They also used their
12 unguided rockets against ground targets.
