The A-4 Skyhawk is another example of a highly successful and very compact fighter jet and in book 14 of the series, we bring you a close-up of this impressive and very manoevrable aircraft. This book includes spectacular air-to-air photography, as well as action from jets flying with Top Aces in Germany and the air forces of Israel, Argentina and Brazil. On 6 pages, we even show the Skyhawk - or Scooter as it is nicknamed - in action aboard the São Paulo aircraft carrier of the Brazilian Navy

This book also offers you close-ups of the slats, trailing edge flaps, speed brakes and horizontal tails. 116 pages for the aircraft enthusiast and the scale aircraft modeller, filled with nearly 300 photographs!
