The A-4 Skyhawk is an American attack aircraft designed and produced by Douglas Aircraft Corporation (McDonnell Douglas).

The first A-4 Skyhawk's maiden flight was June 12, 1952 and was delivered to Navy and US Marine Corps squadrons in late 1956. The Skyhawk proved to be one of the most popular US naval aircraft due to its small size. Skyhawks were well loved by their crews for its toughness and agility, along with its low purchase and operating cost as well as easy maintenance.
