The delta winged, single-engined Skyhawk was designed and produced by Douglas Aircraft Company, and later McDonnell Douglas. It was originally designated the A4D under the U. S. Navy's pre-1962 designation system. The Skyhawk is a light-weight aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of 24,500 pounds (11,100 kg) and has a top speed of more than 600 miles per hour (970 km/h). The aircraft's five hardpoints support a variety of missiles, bombs and other munitions and was capable of delivering nuclear weapons using a low altitude bombing system and a "loft" delivery technique. Prior to the A-4E, power was supplied by the Wright J65 engine; on the A-4E, the J65 was replaced by the 9,300-pound-force (41 kN) Pratt & Whitney J52. Skyhawks played key roles in the Vietnam War, the Yom Kippur War, and the Falklands War. Fifty years after the aircraft's first flight, some of the nearly 3,000 produced remain in service with several air arms around the world, including the Brazilian Navy's aircraft carrier, São Paulo." 8" x 11" - 198 Pages - Well Illustrated - About 160 Illustrations And 8 Pages In Full Color - Foreword By Edward H Heineman - Citations - Technical & Performance Data - IndexVery slight edge rubbing to jacket edge and slight shelf rubbings to jacket - Otherwise In Like New Condition Check Out Our eBay Store (Grannyspalapa) For Other Similar Items www.ebay.com/str/grannyspalapa For International Shipping, please email me for costs
