Description	A U.S. Navy Douglas A-4E Skyhawk of Attack Squadron VA-155 "Silver Foxes" landing aboard the aircraft carrier USS Constellation (CVA-64). Due to the height of the aircraft over the deck it was probably waved off. VA-155 was assigned to Carrier Air Wing 15 (CVW-15) aboard the Constellation for a deployment to Vietnam from 12 May to 3 December 1966. Note that the aircraft wears a green camouflage paint. The U.S. Navy experimented with aircraft camouflage and painted half of the aircraft of CVW-15 with dark green colours to blend in with the Vietnamese jungle. The results proved inconclusive for the U.S. Navy, whereas the U.S. Air Force concluded that the camouflage was effective. U.S. Navy planes would not be camouflaged until the 1980s.
