The
Douglas A2D Skyshark was designed to fufill the
U.S. Navy needs of fast
attack aircraft capable of operating from small carriers. Technology of the time mandated a turboprop engine. The end of the
Korean War, the phase-out of small carriers, and problems with the
XT40 engine led to cancellation of the
Skyshark, with only twelve were built. The models represent the airplane in flight with two different payloads and without propellers.
