Copied from 37th ARRS yearbook ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It always amazed me (as we cat'd them off the decks of carriers) how the Spad seemed capable of carrying its own weight in amour. That, plus I was flabbergasted that the things could fly with so much stuff on the wings as it seemed to me like there'd insufficient clean air under the wing to fly. JD |

Wrong credit here! (memory if a fragile craft)
"Danang Airfield 1972....... Copied from 37th ARRS yearbook" NOT Those two colored snapshots of Danang "Sandy" SPADS were NOT part of the yearbook, but were personal pictures belonging to SSGT Schiller, shown standing by the Super Jolly in this attached picture. He was kind enough to digitize the entire yearbook and make it available to others. Included on his disk were some personal photos which made tears flow. Old Chief Lynn |
