A-4 Skyhawk

A study in simplicity, the A-4 Skyhawk was the result of Douglas Aircraft Company designer Ed Heinemann’s concern about the increasing weight and cost of combat aircraft appearing during the 1950s. The A-4 ran counter that. In final form, the “Tinker Toy,” as pilots knew the A-4, bettered the Navy’s maximum weight restriction by more than half.
