| Description |
English: The pilots of the U.S. Navy of Attack Squadron 25 (VA-25) "Fist of the Fleet" pose for a group photo in front of a Douglas A-1H Skyraider aboard the aircraft carrier USS Coral Sea (CVA-43). VA-25 was assigned to Attack Carrier Air Wing 15 (CVW-15) aboard the Coral Sea for a deployment to the Western Pacific and Vietnam from 26 July 1967 to 28 April 1968. This was the last deployment of a U.S. Navy attack squadron with the Douglas A-1 Skyraider. The pilot standing the farthest on the right is Lt.(jg) Joseph P. Dunn. He became the last U.S. Navy Skyraider pilot being lost. He was ferrying the A-1H BuNo 134499 from Naval Air Station Cubi Point, Philippines, to the Coral Sea on 14 February 1968. The flight strayed into Chinese airspace off the coast of Hainan Island and he was shot down by a Chinese MiG-17F. He bailed out but was never heard from again. |
