Hard to say what kind of revolver this is, but it's probably a S&W  and I thought the Forum would enjoy the photo. This is USAF pilot Capt. Clint Queen in Viet Nam in 1966 with his revolver.

The USAF issued mostly S&W 4" Model 15's to pilots. They could also carry personal weapons. Looks like Clint's gun is his personal gun, judging by the holster and belt.

Not to be contrary but I thought the USAF pilots carried the 2" barrel model 15. I know the 4" M15 was a standard issue for this era. If someone could confirm this I would appreciate it as I am a huge fan of both barrel configurations. Thanks for sharing your photo.

Great pic, thanks for posting it! I inlarged the pic and the revolver is definitely a S&W RB K frame with diamond grips.
