Mc Donnel Douglas A4 F IAF
The burial of the lion

Since I was a child I was always attracted to the A4 Skyhawk. I was not so much a fan of Spitfire or Bf 109 (which I love of course) but of modern jets and until the F14 came into my life my heart was of the Skyhawk. Years later I saw him fight "live" in the Falklands War and the exploits of the Argentine pilots continue to leave me speechless (I have an Argentine A4 on my tray). And when I was older I was able to read the heroic actions of this small single-engine in Vietnam, the Arab-Israeli Wars, even the Gulf War!...a true veteran.
