The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk is a single-seat subsonic carrier-capable light attack aircraft developed for the US Navy and US Marine Corps in the early 1950s. The A4-B was the second variant of the Skyhawk and one of the first to see combat in the skies over Vietnam, where it was involved in the early stages of the conflict. This s trengthened aircraft added air-to-air refueling capabilities, improved navigation and flight control systems. Due to its small size, the A4 was able to operate off the smaller World War Two era Essex Class carriers, but it could still carry a useful payload to its target.
