The aircraft depicted in the clip above is a US Navy Douglas A-1H (AD-6) Skyraider, BuNo 134619 (c/n 9848), belonging to VA-152. This aircraft would be lost in combat to AAA fire near Son La Province, North Vietnam on August 29, 1965. Naval aviator Lieut. Edd David Taylor (USN) would perish in the crash of the aircraft. Taylor was flying as part of a Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) mission seeking the rescue of F-105 pilot Captain Wesley D. Schierman, who was shot down on his 37th combat mission over North Vietnam on August 28, 1965. Lt. Taylor was on his third low-level pass trying to locate the source of an emergency radio beeper when his plane was struck by ground fire. Schierman was captured and would spend the rest of the war as a Prisoner of War. See: navy.togetherweserved.com/usn/servlet/tws.webapp.WebApp?c...
