Description
Photograph of Douglas A-4 Skyhawk jet in flight, June 1956. At center, a small Navy jet is seen in flight. The wide body of the plane is pointed at the beak. Also, a large pointed rod is seen extending from the beak of the jet. Above the beak, the glass panel covering the single cockpit is shown. A single pilot is visible flying the aircraft. Below the cockpit, a large star-shaped emblem is seen; the same emblem is also visible on the tip of the left wing. The central wings are wide and form large right triangles in relation to the jet. Along the jet's fuselage, a hollow bulge protruding from the plane's exterior is visible. To the left, the small flaps flank the plane's large tail. In the extreme background, a huge body of water can be seen below the plane.
