The Douglas A-1 Skyraider (see film: Rescue Dawn) was a propeller driven dive bomber/torpedo bomber designed during WWII, but only saw combat in Korea and Vietnam Wars. Only the USN/USMC (?) used the A1 in Korea; the USAF/USN/USMC (?) used the Skyraider in Vietnam. About 266 A1s were lost in the Vietnam War. The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk (flown by Senator McCain) was strictly a USN/USMC jet. Nicknamed the "scooter" because it was small, easy to fly, and cheap to build and buy. Approximately 362 "scooters" were lost in the Vietnam War.
