Summary[edit]
_(8107675552).jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Douglas Aircraft’s famed designer Ed Heinemann designed the Navy A4D Skyhawk to replace the propeller driven AD-5 Skyraider. It was built small so that more could be accommodated on a carrier, where it excelled as the lightweight high-speed bomber for the U.S. Navy and Marines. It is a maneuverable, powerful, attack bomber with great altitude and range capabilities, plus and unusual flexibility in armament capacity. The small plane bucked the trend to ‘bigger is better’; it offered a powerful punch, serving as the Navy’s primary light bomber in the Vietnam era. One of its advantages in carrier service is its delta wing was so compact it didn’t require a folding mechanism. |
