Description
English: A U.S. Navy Douglas AD-2 Skyraider (BuNo 122343), of Attack Squadron 702 (VA-702) over the Japanese islands, after being launched on a routine flight from the aircraft carrier USS Boxer (CV-21) in September 1951. The ship was then en route to the Korean combat area. Boxer, with assigned Carrier Air Group 101 (CVG-101), was deployed to the Western Pacific and Korea from 2 March to 24 October 1951.
The AD-2 122343 was later lost over Korea on 6 June 1952 while in service with Marine Attack Squadron 121 (VMA-121). The plane was hit by flak and the pilot bailed out.
