Description
Few modern military aircraft can claim the longevity and overall success enjoyed by the legendary Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. Nicknamed ‘Heinemann’s Hotrod,’ ‘Bantam Bomber,’ and ‘Scooter,’ the small, nimble, and subsonic A-4 first flew in the mid-1950s during the burgeoning era of larger and much more complex supersonic jet fighters then being developed for the U.S. Navy. The Skyhawk broke the mould, however, by becoming America’s first simple, low-cost, lightweight, jet-powered attack aircraft, one that could operate from any size U.S.
Navy aircraft carrier then in use. Previous books on the Skyhawk have focused mainly on its colourful combat career, while this book also chronicles, in fascinating detail, the story of the A-4’s early years, its subsequent development and its service with at least nine different air arms outside its U.S. service. In their own words, the engineers and pilots who designed and flew the Skyhawk provide exciting new insights into not just the A-4, but also the workings of naval aviation and aircraft carrier operations during the Cold War heyday of the 1950s and 1960s.
