The Douglas A-1 Skyraider was an American single-seat attack aircraft in service from 1946 to the early 1980s. But in this photo taken in 1965, there’s a toilet seat where a missile should be. The person in charge of arming the plane fitted a broken toilet and hid it from sight by standing around it until the plane launched. And by the time the carrier air commander noticed it, it was too late because the plane had already taken off.
