The Painting Depicts A Mission Flown In June 1968 By The VNAF. I Accompanied Major Crane Who Was Flying As An Adviser In The Foreground Aircraft. We Made A Series Of Near Vertical Dives. I Thought We Went Straight Down (Major Crane Said, Forty-Five Degrees). The Target Was A Group Of Structures Concealed In The Jungle. The Unusual Camouflage Paint Pattern On The Nose Of The A-1E Shown As It Was On The Day Of This Mission."
