The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk is an American carrier-capable attack aircraft designed by engineer Ed Heinemann for the Douglas Aircraft Company. It entered service in the mid-1950s and remained actively used throughout the Cold War, both on US Navy aircraft carriers and by the US Marines. The A-4 Skyhawk was widely used in Vietnam as well as by the air forces of Israel, Argentina, Australia, Kuwait, and other countries.
