About Douglas A-1H Skyraider U.S. Navy
During 1943 the U.S. Bureau of Aeronautics considered to combine the
tasks of torpedo bomber and dive-bomber into one. Several aircraft
manufacturers, such as Douglas and Martin, were requested to develop a
large, single-seat attack aircraft. According to the requirement,
Douglas Skyraider, was developed by Douglas Aircraft Company, Inc.
The development was started in early July 1944, and all night efforts of
engineers made the first prototypes first flight possible already on
March 18, 1945. Despite the short period of the development, flight
trials proved the airframes flight characteristics satisfactory and the
aircraft was rated very highly. In May 1945 a letter of intent for 598
production was signed. The name Skyraider was officially approved for
the aircraft in February of the following year, and the distribution to
units was started at the end of the same year. The Skyraider was powered
by Wright R3350 radial engine yielding 2,800 horse power and equipped with three large dive brakes on the fuselage.
The Skyraider had a number of types, from the AD-1 to AD-7, recording
grand total number of production of more than 3,000. Among them, AD-6
was the most produced variant. The AD designation for the Skyraider was
changed in 1962, and the AD-6 became the A-1H. Noted for its durability
and a large capacity for external stores, the Skyraider was well liked by its pilots and crewmen.
