The Aircraft | ||||||||||||||||
The A3D Skywarrior originated from a U.S. Navy requirement in 1947 for an attack bomber with strategic (read it nuclear) strike capability. The prototype first flew in 1953 and production deliver in 1956. An inter-service agreement in 1962 redesignated the Skywarrior as the A-3. The |
A-3 was little used as a strike aircraft but performed many secondary roles such as reconnaissance, electronic warfare and in-flight tanker. The U.S. Air Force version of the Skywarrior was the B-66 Destroyer. |
