McDonnell Douglas A-4 Skyhawk airplane model

Ordered during the Korean War, the prototype of this airplane was flown on June 22, 1954, and the first preproduction aircraft on August 14, 1954, with initial deliveries to US Navy Attack Squadron VA-72 beginning on October 26, 1956. Three months later, in January 1957, VMA-224 became the first US Marine Corps squadron to receive Skyhawks. It was a fortunate period in which to introduce this sparkling new attack aircraft, for by the time the US Navy and US Marines became involved in operations in Vietnam, both of these services were able to deploy the Skyhawk with the greatest confidence in its capability; indeed, such was its effectiveness that steadily improving A-4s remained in production until February 1979, built to a total of 2,960 aircraft, including trainers, and exported to the armed forces of several nations. The Skyhawk continues in service with the US Navy and US Marine Corps in a training role, and other nations whose armed forces are equipped with this airplane include Argentina, Indonesia, Israel, Kuwait, Malaysia, New Zealand, and Singapore. The A-4M introduced a number of improvements, equipped with braking parachute and the more powerful 11,200-lb thrust Pratt & Whitney J52-P-408A turbojet engine, capable of a maximum speed at sea level of 670 mph, with a tactical radius of 340 miles with a 4,000 lb bomb load. Airplane armament was two 20-mm cannons, plus up to 9,155 pounds of weapons on five external hardpoints. There were 162 A-4Ms built.

All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and comes fully assembled with removable desk stand.
