What is the name of the Navy Jet used in combat in Vietnam?
There were several Navy jets used in Vietnam, however, the primary fighter aircraft was the F-4 Phantom and the retiring F-8 Crusader. The Navy also used many of their Korean era aircraft in an attack role, one in particular was the A-1 Skyraider. The US Navy also used the A-4 Skyhawk, the A-6 Intruder, and the A-7 Corsair II. The Navy used quite a few specialty aircraft for spotting, surveillance, and refuelling. This was a big period of experimental aircraft for the Navy, but many of these aircraft were not built as the conflict was quickly being brought to a halt. Gene Davis
