The a-4b was the second variant of the Skyhawk and one of the first to see combat in the skies over Vietnam, where it was involved in the early stages of the conflict, with later versions serving throughout the Campaign. Due to its small size, the a4 was able to operate off the smaller world War II era, Essex class carriers, but could still carry a useful payload to its target. The A-4 Skyhawk is a carrier-capable ground-attack aircraft designed for the US Navy and marine Corps. Skyhawk's were the Navy's primary light bomber used over North Vietnam. The Argentine air Force also used the Type during the Falklands war in 1982.
