书籍简介

“天袭者”的设计工作始于二战后期美国海军的要求。生产始于1946年，并在朝鲜战争期间由海军飞行员驾驶，投入战斗。在接下来的几年里，坚固的机身和强劲的发动机使其能够不断适应各种任务，包括攻击、侦察、气象和电子对抗等。

尽管许多人认为“天袭者”已经过时，但它在越南再次投入战斗，不仅由美国海军和海军陆战队飞行员驾驶，还由美国空军和越南共和国空军飞行员驾驶。“天袭者”能够在携带大量弹药的情况下低速飞行，不仅可以充当攻击机，还可以为地面部队提供空中掩护。其令人印象深刻的有效载荷为它赢得了“飞行自卸卡车”的绰号，而由于在喷气时代依赖大型星形发动机，因此其他人将天袭者称为“Spad”，以向一战战斗机致敬。

Design work on the Skyraider began at the behest of the US Navy late in WWII. Production began in 1946, and the type made its combat debut in the hands of naval aviators during the Korean War. In the following years, the rugged airframe and powerful engine meant that the type could be adapted into ever-expanding roles of attack, reconnaissance, weather, and electronic-countermeasure types.

Though regarded by many as obsolete, in Vietnam the Skyraider again saw combat, now in the hands of not only US Navy and Marine pilots, but also USAF and Republic of Vietnam airmen. Capable of flying low and slow while armed with a massive array of ordnance, the Skyraider not only took on the role of attack aircraft but was also used as air cover for troops on the ground. Its impressive payload earned it the nickname of the "flying dump truck," while its reliance on a massive radial engine in an otherwise jet age caused others to refer to the Skyraider as the "Spad," in homage to the WWI fighter.
