Douglas F3D Skyknight – Quirky Korean War US Night Fighter
In 1950, the Korean War’s skies turned hostile as
Soviet MiG-15 fighters challenged the American B-29 bombers, once the
unchallenged masters of the air. This new threat forced the USAF to halt their
daylight bombing runs as the night skies became the new battleground. The
Douglas F3D Skyknight entered this tense scenario, an unassuming figure against
the backdrop of high-stakes air combat.
Often overlooked and lacking the sleek allure of
its jet-powered contemporaries, this ‘sedan of the skies’ emerged as an
unlikely hero in the heat of conflict.
