Description
Douglas A-1 Skyraider Limited Edition Large Mahogany Model
In the skies of Vietnam, the Douglas A-1 Skyraider looked like a relic from World War II. The single-seater, straight-winged prop plane made its first flight in 1945, right around the arrival of the Jet Age. It was born obsolete, yet it enjoyed a remarkably long and successful career by finding a niche. Sure, the A-1 was slow, but Navy and Air Force pilots in Vietnam loved it for its agility. The Skyraider provided the close air support that the war demanded but that jets couldn’t provide. Like a tank in the sky, it could carry an immense weapons payload and stay over the battlefield for extended periods.
This exquisite Douglas A-1 Skyraider Mahogany Model is handcrafted by our master craftsmen from the finest Mahogany Wood. Attention is given to every detail, resulting in unsurpassed quality. Models come complete with a detachable wood display stand. The model will be delivered to your door securely in a foam fitted shipping box. These models make a great gift for any aviation enthusiast, veteran or history buff alike.
