Synopsis

First published in 1998, the A3D Part One covers, as the title says, the development of the extensive Skywarrior series. Known as the "Whale" due to its large size, the twin jet aircraft was designed as the Navy's nuclear heavy bomber from its onset. Weighing in at 70-84,000 pounds the Navy found many other uses for the A3D including electronics warfare, photo, trainer, VIP transport, iron bomb bomber in Vietnam and tanker. All 15-version are presented in text, illustrations and photos as is their usage in the Navy test and development squadrons (NATC, NATF, FEWSG, NASWF, NWEF, NARF, NOTS, NWC, NADC, US Army, Westinghouse, NMC, PMTC, Hughes and Thunderbird Aviation. 315 + b&w photos and 86 illustrations.
