Download or read book A-1 Skyraider written by David Doyle and published by MMD-Squadron Signal. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally designated AD and later A-1, the 1944-designed Skyraider was conceived and bought by the U.S. Navy as a carrier-borne attack aircraft, and saw combat as such in Korea and Vietnam. During the latter of those conflicts, the U.S. Air Force obtained and used Navy-surplus Skyraiders, as did the South Vietnamese air force. Other nations continued to fly the venerable Skyraider into the 1980s. Known alternately as the "flying dump truck," a testament to its payload capacity; and "SPAD," an homage to its massive radial engine and anachronistic propeller in an age of jet aircraft, the rugged Skyraider endeared itself to both air and ground crews. Retrace the history of the famous Douglas Skyraider through this all-new 80-page book, packed with detailed line drawings, color profiles, and over 180 vintage photographs, more than 30 of them in vintage color.

Download or read book AD Skyraider Units of the Korean War written by Rick Burgess and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-25 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Douglas AD Skyraider is considered the most effective naval aircraft of the Korean War despite the emergence of new jet fighters that captured public imagination. Built to replace the World War 2 workhorses like the Dauntless, Helldiver and Avenger diveand torpedo-bombers, the Skyraider operated numerous combat missions from carrier decks and from US Marine Corps land bases throughout the conflict. Drawing from personal interviews with AD pilots, the authors paint a harrowing picture of the deadly combat of this often forgotten air war as pilots took on Chinese and North Korean forces during daring night attacks and whilst outnumbered in daytime attacks.

Download or read book USAF and VNAF A-1 Skyraider Units of the Vietnam War written by Byron E Hukee and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-20 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: USAF Skyraider units were originally tasked to serve as quasi-training units for the fledgling VNAF. Equipped only with the two-seat models of the Skyraider, American pilots were required to have VNAF 'observers' in the aircraft for every mission. Eventually, this arrangement was changed as enough Vietnamese pilots were trained to man their own squadrons, while USAF squadrons were tasked with close support for US ground forces. Eventually, no fewer than four USAF and seven VNAF Skyraider units saw service in Vietnam. Additionally, one A-1 training squadron flew from Hurlburt Field, Florida, throughout the Vietnam War era. In the ten years that this squadron was active, nearly 1000 USAF and 300 VNAF pilots were trained in the Skyraider. While the core mission of all Skyraider squadrons was Close Air Support (CAS), other missions were accomplished at various times. Among these were Search and Rescue (SAR), night interdiction on the Ho Chi Minh trail, helicopter escort and special forces support to name but a few. Each of these missions took full advantage of the Skyraider's ability to deliver a variety of munitions in close proximity to friendly forces while inflicting heavy casualties on enemy forces

Download or read book US Navy A-1 Skyraider Units of the Vietnam War written by Rick Burgess and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-20 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicknamed the 'flying dump truck', the A-1 was a key component in naval air wings from the end of World War II into the 1960s, allowing the aircraft to play its part in the escalating conflict in Vietnam. Both A-1 attack and EA-1F airborne early warning aircraft saw action in Southeast Asia from 1960 through 1969, when the last examples were finally retired from carrier decks. The A-1s in particular bombed targets in both North and South Vietnam, despite the aircraft being highly vulnerable to enemy flak and fighters. Co-written by a two-tour Vietnam War combat veteran in the A-1, this is the first book that focuses exclusively on the aircraft's service in Vietnam.

Download or read book Ad and A-1 Skyraider written by David Doyle and published by Schiffer Military History. This book was released on 2021-02-28 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design work on the Skyraider began at the behest of the US Navy late in WWII. Production began in 1946, and the type made its combat debut in the hands of naval aviators during the Korean War. In the following years, the rugged airframe and powerful engine meant that the type could be adapted into ever-expanding roles of attack, reconnaissance, weather, and electronic-countermeasure types. Though regarded by many as obsolete, in Vietnam the Skyraider again saw combat, now in the hands of not only US Navy and Marine pilots, but also USAF and Republic of Vietnam airmen. Capable of flying low and slow while armed with a massive array of ordnance, the Skyraider not only took on the role of attack aircraft but was also used as air cover for troops on the ground. Its impressive payload earned it the nickname of the "flying dump truck," while its reliance on a massive radial engine in an otherwise jet age caused others to refer to the Skyraider as the "Spad," in homage to the WWI fighter.

Download or read book The Douglas Skyraider in French Service written by Michel Fournier and published by . This book was released on 2010-07-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed during World War II as a carrier-based dive bomber and torpedo-carrier it was the first single-seater in this category. The Skyraider missed the opportunity to fight against the Japanese, however, in the major conflicts which raged in Korea and Vietnam over the next two decades it was intensively used and proved to be a very efficient and outstanding weapon. The Americans were not the only ones to use the Skyraider in action. At the end of the 1950s the French were involved in a colonial conflict in Algeria and at that time they were looking for a successor for their aging P-47 Thunderbolts, which had been delivered during World War II. The Skyraider was available in large numbers, as the USN had withdrawn the early versions from use, and this aircraft was selected. The Skyraider participated in the last stages of the Algerian confrontation and, against all odds, it remained in service with the French Air Force into the 1970s. The aircraft was based at various times in African Countries and occasionally they were used in action. The true story of the Skyraider in French service is told in 56 pages including maps, color profiles, and over 40 photos - many in color.
