Titles: Douglas A-4 Skyhawk No’s 1 to 3

The Douglas A-4 was designed by famed Douglas engineer Ed Heinemann and first flew in 1954. 2,960 were eventually manufactured in many versions. In many cases earlier models were re-manufactured into later versions, often for export.

We offer three titles covering flight manuals for several variants of the aircraft, including export variants, along with the Aircraft Profile. The files have been scanned from the original manuals and retain any colour pages unless otherwise stated. Each title is US$9.95.
