A-1H Skyraider USN History:
The Douglas A-1 Skyraider was planned and manufactured as a carrier-based attack aircraft in 1944, the A-1 attained frontline units too late to see combat in World War II. With the introduction of jets in the late 1940s, the A-1 was seen as a dated throwback to the golden age of piston-engined naval aviation. Despite its days seemingly numbered, the A-1 proved to be a huge success in the Korean War. Remaining in production through to 1957, some 3,180 Skyraiders had been built by the time the last one left the Douglas plant. Nicknamed the '”Spad, the A-1 remained a key component in naval air wings into the 1960s, allowing the aircraft to play its part in the escalating conflict in Vietnam.
The A-1H Skyraider with its powerful, deep-engine roar, always gets a lot of attention at airshows. The Skyraider was a Vietnam War veteran aircraft, having been based there from 1967-1972 as a search and rescue plane. The aircraft may also be familiar to some from its days at the old Museum of Flying in Santa Monica.
