HISTORY OF DOUGLAS A-1 SKYRAIDER IN U.S. NAVAL AVIATION 80514

[@tonywilliams8426]

Countless USAF and Navy's aircrew owe their lives to this wonderful old seabird. She also flew with the RN in my country. Built the Airfix kit of this year's ago. Magic airframe, wonder if the Warthog will endear this much when IT finally goes out to pasture....

:) As a cocky 24 yr old 1st Lt, in 1967, for Christmas, I got a spiffy new Spad. Nose # 521. Just had to go to Da Nang and pick her up, for 2 tours. :)
