Douglas A-4 Skyhawk (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A detailed look at the combat aircraft designed by the legendary Edward H. Heinemann with one role in mind: tactical nuclear delivery. The Skyhawk first entered service with the US Navy almost 50 years ago. It is still in service with various US units and remains the backbone of many of the air forces of those countries to which it has been exported. "Heinemann's Hot Rod" was never called upon for its original purpose-nuclear delivery from aircraft carriers-but its well-designed airframe proved adaptable to many other uses. This is an in-depth look at the design, production, evolution, operation and performance of the aircraft. It will also include first-hand accounts of flying the Skyhawk in action.
