Hobby Master Douglas A-4H Skyhawk No 03, 109th Valley Sqn, Yom Kippur War, 1970 Product Code: HA14221:72 Scale Diecast Model Diecast Aviation Model Interchangeable Undercarriage Weapon Loads stand Included Designed to replace the Douglas AD-1 Skyraider the Skyhawk first flew in 1954. Its small size was a radical departure from the normal “Big” thinking of the time. The USN first took delivery in late 1956 with the USMC receiving theirs 3 months later. Over the years many nicknames were used, “Tinker Toy”, “Heinemann’s Hotrod” (the designer was Ed Heinemann), with the E and F models labeled the “Camel” because of the electronics hump along the dorsal. Probably the most well known nickname used for the 2,960 A-4’s that were produced is “Scooter”.The first 4 of 48 Skyhawks arrived in Israel by ship on December 19, 1967 and were assigned to the 109th Valley Squadron. These aircraft didn't have the electronics dorsal spine hump. On January 1, 1968 the first flight of the IDF A-4H Ayit (eagle) took place using A-4H BuNo. 155244 #03. This was followed by the first A-4H operational sortie on February 15, 1968. From March 1969 to August 1970 Israel was part of the “War of Attrition” with Egypt and occasionally other neighboring countries. On May 15, 1970 while flying #03 A-4H Col. Dotan (Mr. Skyhawk) destroyed two Syrian Mig-17’s over Lebanon read more
