About the historical original

The McDonnell Douglas A-4 Skyhawk is an American attack aircraft used by the United States since the mid-1950s and later widely exported, including to Israel. In the Middle East, the A-4 Skyhawk played a key role during armed conflicts such as the Yom Kippur War in 1973 and intense fighting in the mid-70s and 80s of the twentieth century. These aircraft were used by the Israeli Air Force until the early 21st century, mainly as combat machines performing assault missions.
