A-7 Corsair II

摘要

The Air Force A-7 Corsair II was derived from the Corsair developed for the Navy in the early 1960s, and was more or less ordered off-the-shelf. The first USAF prototype flew on April 6,1968. The only significant changes to the LTV-built Navy version were use of a different engine and addition of a 20 mm cannon (which the Navy later adopted). Somewhat less than beautiful, the A-7-in both the Air Force and Navy versions-proved to be both effective and highly adaptable.
