Douglas A-1H (AD-6) Skyraider airplane model Designed by Douglas chief engineer Ed Heinemann, at El Segundo, California, the first AD-1 Skyraider's initial flight was on March 18, 1945. The folding wings were given no fewer than seven hardpoints on each side, and a robust structure gave the Skyraider great integrity. The AD-6 was an improved version of the AD-4B single seat attack aircraft, and provided with special equipment for accurate low-level bombing. Large numbers of the AD-6 were used by the French Armee de l'Air in Algeria. The final version of the Skyraider was the AD-7, having a Wright R-3350-26WB engine instead of the AD-6's R3350-26WA. The AD-7 had a maximum speed of 320 mph, service ceiling of 25,400 ft, and a range of 900 miles. Airplane armament included four 20-mm cannons, plus up to 8,000 pounds of weapons on 15 hardpoints, including bombs, depth charges, mines, napalm, rockets, and torpedoes. When production ended in 1957, there were a total of 3,180 Skyraiders built, 713 of which were AD-6's. All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and comes fully assembled with removable desk stand.
