Douglas EB-66
Unarmed EB-66s were vulnerable to enemy MiGs, who specifically targeted them. Pictured here are B-66 pilot Maj. Kibby Taylor (right) and navigator Capt. Jack McGinn. Their aircraft was attacked by two MiGs on a mission in November 1966. They narrowly escaped, and their fighter escort shot down both of the MiGs. (U.S. Air Force photo)
