I never thought I'd be so deep in the bowels of the National Archives that I'd randomly run across the famous toilet bomb launched over Vietnam from an A-1H Skyraider of VA-25, piloted by Cdr. Clarence W. Stoddard, but here I am.🤘😎

A Photograph from the Cold war era: Lightning F6’s plugged into Victor XH587 Air-Air wing hoses. Transfer rate 1500lbs/min. Tanker had centre hose with transfer rate of 3000lbs/min. All three simultaneously was never practiced. This was fun at night in cloud with turbulence!

16th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron F-86 Sabre narrowly avoids colliding with a MiG-15 during a dogfight over Korea in June 1953. Note the firing indicator on the top left of the screen that disappears whenever the trigger is pulled.
