Description
A very close portrait of the Douglas A-4 "Skyhawk", more specifically the M, N, AR and AF-1 versions. The photos in this book are
from the Top Aces aircraft, but also from the air forces of Argentina, Israel and Brazil. The author even visited the Brazilian Aircraft Carrier "São Paulo". The A-4 Skyhawk is another example of a highly successful and very compact fighter jet and in book 14 of the "Aircraft in detail" series, the author brings you a close-up of this impressive and very manoevrable aircraft. This book includes spectacular air-to-air photography, as well as action from jets flying with Top Aces in Germany and the air forces of Israel, Argentina and Brazil. On 6 pages the "Skyhawk" - or Scooter as it is nicknamed - is shown in action aboard the "São Paulo" aircraft carrier of the Brazilian Navy. There isnt a detail that is overlooked in this book: the forward fuselage, landing gear, vertical tail, wings, air intakes, jet
exhaust, ... And of course, the cockpit isn't forgotten! The book also contains an
extensive chapter covering the maintaince of the A-4 "Skyhawk": no less than 24 pages cover very aspect of the jet, showing the interior of the fuselage, the engine, open access panels, avionics and even the folding nose of the Skyhawk. This book also offers you close-ups of the slats, trailing edge flaps, speed
brakes and horizontal tails.
