About A1H Skyraider

Built by the Douglas Aircraft Company in1946 at the El Segundo plant in Southern California, the A1H Skyraider is a propeller-driven single seat American attack aircraft. Its maiden flight was on March 18, 1945. Nicknamed Spad, the aircraft was operated by the US Navy, US Marine Corps, US Air Force, British Royal Navy, French Air Force, and the Air Force of the Republic of Vietnam. Designed by Ed Heinemann during World War II, the Skyraider was a follow-on of previous torpedo bombers and dive bombers. Initially, it was painted midnight blue but was painted gray and white during the 1950s following the Korean War. In 1962, the existing Skyraiders were redesignated A-1D through A-1J and later used in the Vietnam War by the US Air Force and the Navy.

There were more than 3,000 Skyraiders built. It retired in the 1970s. The straight-winged, slow- flying, jet-powered A-10 Thunderbolt II was its successor. It was also later developed into the Douglas A2D Skyshark.
