Douglas aircraft used in Vietnam War?
Douglas had two famous aircraft in the Vietnam War: 1. A-1 Skyraider, a propeller driven WWII "designed" dive bomber/torpedo plane, which never saw service in WWII...but did fight in the Korean War as a navy blue painted fighter/bomber; and the Vietnam War as a camoflaged painted fighter bomber for the USAF and a regular grey/whitish fighter bomber for the USN. Depicted in the film, "Rescue Dawn" (based on a true story). About 3,000 A-1's were built, and about 266 Skyraiders were lost in the Vietnam War. 2. A-4 Skyhawk, a single jet engine attack aircraft, first entering US service in about 1954. Nicknamed the "scooter", among other names, it was well liked because it was small (wing-span about 26') which allowed MORE jets to be carried aboard carriers. Reportedly easy to fly, easy to maintain, and cheap to build. Used strictly by the USN/USMC during the Vietnam War, nearly 3,000 were built and about 362 were lost during the war. The A-7 Corsair II would replace the A-4. The A7 was the only single seat jet fighter/bomber that was designed, built, and sent directly into combat in Vietnam during the 1960's. All of the others had been designed or built during the 1950's. In addition, the A7 was used by BOTH the USAF and the USN in the Vietnam War.
