A-1 Skyraider:
Designed by Ed Heinemann of the Douglas Aircraft Company in 1944, the Skyraider is considered the most powerful single-engine propeller aircraft in the world. It first saw action during the Korean War in both Navy and Marine Corps squadrons. The US Air Force also used the Skyraider during the Vietnam War. Throughout its service life, the aircraft was configured to serve in night attack, photo reconnaissance, electronic countermeasures, and early warning roles. |
