Aerial view from forward camera in an American A-1E aircraft on a mission in Vietnam. The aircraft dives toward a cluster of buildings in the jungle, where smoke is rising. It pulls up and climbs. It also dives on two other locations where several buildings can be seen quite close because of the plane's low altitude. These may be strafing runs.
