Small wings, short fuselage and about 160 parts: the Skyhawk is a friendly jet to start with. Douglas designed it to replace the A-1 Skyraider and kept it so compact that the wing did not need to fold on a carrier. It weighed only half of what the Navy had allowed. The A-4E added a stronger J52 engine, two more pylons for five in all, and better navigation and bombing equipment; 499 were built.
