Overview
The Douglas A-1 Skyraider is a single-seat attack aircraft designed and produced by American aerospace manufacturer Douglas Aircraft Company. It had an unusually long career, remaining in frontline service well into the Jet Age, thus becoming known by some as an "anachronism". The aircraft was nicknamed "Spad", after the French World War I fighter.
