The Douglas A-1 (formerly AD) Skyraider was a U.S. single-seat attack bomber of the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s. A propeller-driven anachronism in the jet age, the Skyraider had a remarkably long and successful career well into the space age, and inspired a straight-winged, slow-flying, jet-powered successor which is still in front line service today, the A-10 Warthog.

It was operated by the United States Navy (USN), the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) and the United States Air Force (USAF), and also saw service with the British Royal Navy, the French Air Force, and the Air Force of the Republic of Vietnam (VNAF), among others.

Armament:

• Guns: 4 × 20 mm (0.787 in) cannon
• Other: Up to 8,000 lb (3,600 kg) of ordnance on 15 external hardpoints including bombs, torpedoes, mine dispensers, unguided rockets, or gun pods

Craftsmen with over 30 years of experience gave life to the A-1H Skyraider USAF "Spad Dad" through this meticulously hand-carved mahogany wood desktop model plane. Scaled from an exact blueprint, this work of art was lavishly hand-painted with great concern for details and accuracy. A wood base and a brief history plate go with this desktop model plane.
