In this video, we will be introducing you to the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. Though designed as a nuclear bomber, the A-4 Skyhawk became legendary as the Navy’s leading light bomber in the 1960s. Affectionately called “The Scooter”, its simplicity and performance placed the A-4 in the forefront of the close-in bombing war in Southeast Asia. Capable of carrying the bomb load equivalent of World War 2-era B-17 Flying Fortress, it was still considered a “light” fighter.
