A small and lightweight design designed by Ed Heinemann could carry a significant load of weapons, and thanks to its simple operation, it was perfectly suited for service on board aircraft carriers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVersions A-4E and A-4F were among the most important varieties of Skyhawk used during the Vietnam War. U.S. Navy aircraft performed numerous strike missions from aircraft carriers operating off the coast of Vietnam, and the U.S. Marine Corps Skyhawks also operated from land bases. Characteristic for this period were very colorful markings of individual squadrons, contrasting with gray-white painting of aircraft.\u003cbr\u003e\nPaintings included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eA-4E Skyhawk, BuNo 154186, VA-144 ‘Roadrunners,‘ USS Bon Homme Richard, April 1970.\u003cbr\u003e\n    A-4E Skyhawk, BuNo 150121, VA-155 ‘Silver Foxes,‘ USS Coral Sea, 1965.\u003cbr\u003e\n    A-4E Skyhawk, BuNo 150091, VMA-311 ‘Tomcats,‘ Chu Lai, 1968\u003cbr\u003e\n    A-4E Skyhawk, BuNo 152094, VA-144 ‘Roadrunners,‘ USS Kitty Hawk, 1967–1968.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA big highlight of this release are four impressive paintings from the Vietnam War, representing both the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps.
