Historical Information

Douglas A-3D Sky Warrior is a heavy bomber that formed the backbone of the United States Navy carrier-based aviation during the Cold War. The aircraft was designed in the early 1950s, entered service in 1956, and was widely used on Forrestal, Kitty Hawk, and Enterprise class aircraft carriers. A-3D Sky Warriors participated in reconnaissance operations as well as support missions during the Vietnam War. Its versatility and ability to carry nuclear payloads made it one of the most important aircraft of its era in the US Navy.

The bomber was operated until the late 1970s; however, reconnaissance and tanker versions remained in service until 1991. Due to its characteristic appearance, it was often referred to as the 'Whale.' It will be an excellent addition to carrier models of the same scale, such as the USS Enterprise or USS Forrestal.
