Download PDF Attack Aircraft of the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps
Attack aircraft of the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps covers the history of the U. S. Navy’s attack category of carrier-based aircraft from its very inception, shortly after the end of World War II, through the present day. It follows on the heels of three prior Detail & Scale books that present a historical look at the U. S. Navy’s carrier-based aircraft over the last 80 years. U. S. Navy and Marine Carrier-Based Aircraft of World War IIcovered every carrier-based fighter, scout/dive bomber, and torpedo bomber design that the Navy and Marine Corps brought to at least the flying prototype stage during the war. It was followed by two books that covered Navy jet fighter aviation history. Jet Fighters of the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps, Part 1: the First Ten Years and Jet Fighters of the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps, Part 2: Mach 1 and Beyond brought the reader up to the present day covering both fighters and the multi-role fighter/attack aircraft flown by the two services. This fourth volume in Detail & Scale’s look at U. S. Navy and Marine Corps carrier-based aircraft focuses on the attack aircraft types that came into being as World War II came to an end as the Navy combined the roles and capabilities of the scout/dive bomber and the torpedo bomber into a single aircraft type. These attack aircraft continued to provide the Navy and Marines with their carrier-capable striking ability until the mid-1990s. Thirteen different aircraft are covered in this publication, and among them are some of the most iconic aircraft in military aviation history. These include the Douglas AD Skyraider, which remains one of the most versatile aircraft ever produced, the diminutive Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, Grumman’s A-6 Intruder, which provided the Navy and Marines with an all-weather deep strike capability from Vietnam to Desert Storm, and the LTV A-7 Corsair II. The heavy attack aircraft, in the form of the Douglas A-3 Skywarrior and the North American A-5 Vigilante, are covered, not only in their original attack versions, but also in the later variants that performed other important missions for the Navy’s carrier air wings. Lesser-known types, like the Vought AU-1 Corsair, the Martin AM Mauler, and the North American AJ Savage, are covered, as is the Douglas A2D Skyshark which never made it into operational service. The first truly successful S/VTOL aircraft, the British-designed Harrier, is also among the classic aircraft included in this publication.In the 1980s, the multi-role F/A-18 Hornets began replacing the Navy’s attack aircraft. By the mid-1990s, the A-6 Intruder and A-7 Corsair II became the last U. S. Navy attack aircraft to be retired. Today, the F/A-18E and F/A-18F Super Hornets have even replaced the fighter aircraft, with the last F-14 Tomcat having been retired in 2006. As this book is released in 2022, only one aircraft, the AV-8B Harrier II, continues to serve the Marines as the last specific-designed attack aircraft remaining in service, and it is in the process of being replaced by the F-35B Lightning II.Attack Aircraft of the U. S. Navy and Marine Corps is profusely illustrated with 113 pages, 235 high resolution photographs, 168 of which are in color, and ten full color profiles.
