I have been trying to find out how many hump=backed A-4Es there were?
So far with no results. Any one have an idea. If you check the books
about the A-4 there is a complete absence of info about how many A-4Es
were fitted with the Avionics hump. Being and old AK, at one time, I
would have thought that such information would have been in the A-4E
IPB. Does anyone know? Walt


I never worked on A-4s, but IIRC, the Avionics hump (plus other mods, of
course) was the A-4M. Cheers!

Incorrect. Some/most A-4E's (and all might have eventually been
retrofitted), All A-4F and subsequent. It was easily removed and that was
frequently done to reduce weight and drag for adversary work, Blue Angels,
etc.
