FLIGHT International, 16 January 1964 THE A-4E SKYHAWK IN SERVICE Ed Heinemann's "Bantam Bomber," the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, has proved one of the most successful carrier-based attack aircraft. So small that its wing does not need to fold, it can carry almost any US Navy air-to-surface weapon, and the A-4E on the right is laden with 18 bombs and two Bullpup missiles, weighing in all 8,2001b. The A-4E is the latest version of the Sky- hawk, with an 8,500lb-thrust Pratt & Whitney J52-6 two-spool turbojet which confers increased payload and range. The A-4Es above and below are based at Lemoore Naval Air Station in California.
