The Douglas A-1 was designed at the end of World War II, too late to see combat. By the 1950s, jets had taken center stage, and the Skyraider looked like a relic. It wasn’t fast. But it was tough, reliable, and incredibly versatile. It could carry more ordnance than a B-17, stay over the battlefield for ten hours, and soak up punishment that would down most aircraft. #military #aviation #aircraft | Jets 'n' Props
