General Background:
The A-4 Skyhawk is one of the most successful attack aircrafts ever built. The smallest jet aircraft ever deployed on a carrier was the product of Douglas's Chief Engineer Ed Heinnemann in the 1952. This was the time when a more lightweight aircraft was in demand to fit into those post-war vintage carriers.
The Skyhawk was extensively used during the Cold War and the Vietnam War by the navy and the Marines. Because of its small size and powerful performance, the A-4 was also known as the "Heinnemann's Hot Rod". A Total of 2960 of Skyhawk were built and many of them were exported to other countries.
