EA-1F (AD-5Q) was a four seat electronics countermeasures aircraft. The airplane in the picture is the Air Force version of the AD-5 which was designated A-1E in September 1962.

Only because I really like the AD / A1 airplanes and think it is fascinating how may derivatives were made from the basic airframe.

Always nice to see a picture of a Skyraider. Thanks.

Sadly but no photo....I saw a Skyraider at Leeward Point down in Guantanamo back about '58 or '59 that was all white, had red crosses and place for four litters inside the fuselage. Very distinctive and me with no camera. Attached is one of me on the wing of a Spad belonging to VA-85. -- USMC Airdale 55-61 http://tinyurl.com/2h98ax |
