Reviews
Wow. Wow. And double 'wow'. Get Steve Gitner's excellent effort. Then line-up behind me for future volumes!, Like many in the Naval Fighter series, this book is well written and researched. It is filled with great black-and-white photographs, excellent informative captions, data tables and internal and external images and diagrams of the many versions and models of the Skyraider. A plus for the reader is that the author included excellent photos and diagrams that cover lesser-known equipment the AD/A-1s carried.

Synopsis
The Douglas Skyraider entered fleet service with VA-19A in February 1947 and was retired in 1969. A single engine attack aircraft able to carry more tonnage of bombs than a WWII B-17 all while operating from a aircraft carrier. Marine Squadron VMA-121 routinely struck enemy targets with bomb loads in excess of 9,000 lbs. The 3,180 Skyraiders were produced in 20 different versions and modified further into at least seven other variants. Furthermore, Douglas created conversion kits for the AD-5 allowing it to be modified at squadron level into a four-seat or ten seat COD aircraft, a target tug, an air ambulance, a cargo aircraft, or a aerial tanker. As an attack aircraft, it became the weapon of choice for close air support and ground attack in Korea because of its ability to loiter for hours with a variety of bombs, rockets and napalm and its ability to take hits and bring its pilot's home. It repeated these tasks in Vietnam where it also became the RESCAP aircraft of choice due to its ability to stay airborne for up to 12-hours., Over 3,180 Skyraiders were produced in 20 different versions and modified further into at least seven other variants. Learn about the development, testing and service of this versatile aircraft.
