Nicknamed the “Spad” for the World War 1 French fighter, the A-1 Skyraider saw service for the late 1940s thru the early 1980s. It had a very long career due to its unique, rugged attack capabilities at a time when jet aircraft ruled the sky. Used for low altitude attack it was unparalleled and used extensively in Korea and Vietnam.
It was operated by the United States Navy (USN), the United States Marine Corps (USMC), and the United States Air Force (USAF), and also saw service with the British Royal Navy, the French Air Force, the Republic of Vietnam Air Force (VNAF), and others.
