The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk was a carrier capable light-attack bomber designed for the US Navy and Marine Corp. First flown in June 1954, the A-4s combat career began with carrier-launched raids over North Vietnam in 1964. The Navy began removing A-4 's from its front-line squadrons in 1967, with the last one retired in 1975. The Marine Corps retired the Skyhawk in June, 1994. The last production Skyhawk, issued to Marine squadron VMA-223, had the flags of all nations who had operated the A-4 series aircraft painted on the side as seen on this model.
