US Navy and Marine Corps A-4 Skyhawk Units of the Vietnam War 1963-1973 (Combat Aircraft) ReviewThe full story of the A-4 Skyhawk remains to be told, partly because "Heinemann's Hotrod" remains flying throughout the world. But for a handy reference of the "Scooter's" primary combat use, this latest entry in Osprey's series will be around for years.
As depressing as Vietnam War history can be, Mersky avoids lapsing into a litany of almost daily losses for little military benefit. While losses were heavy (more A-4s were shot down than any naval type), he places Navy and Marine Corps operations in broader context of the waxing and waning combat operations from 1964-73. He demonstrates where A-4s were successfully employed, including the use of early precision guided weapons such as Walleye.
Tailhook aviators will find many familiar names here, including Everett Alvarez, Jim Stockdale, Wynn Foster, Mike Estocin, TR Schwartz, and others. But the day to day warriors also are acknowledged, such as Cdr. Denis Weichman who logged more than 600 A-4 missions.
As always in Osprey publications, illustrations abound. There are 95 black & white photos plus 13 color in addition to 32 excellent Jim Laurier profiles and Marky Styling's line drawings.
All in all, a fitting tribute to those who manned up and launched in the classic Skyhawk, doing as good a job as possible for a government that was, at best, indifferent to their fate.US Navy and Marine Corps A-4 Skyhawk Units of the Vietnam War 1963-1973 (Combat Aircraft) Overview
