In the age of the turbojet, Douglas A-1 Skyraider flew as a piston-powered, propeller-driven blast from the past.
With the rapid development of jet aircraft towards the end of the war, dozens, if not hundreds of piston engine aircraft became obsolete. The Skyraider could have joined their lot, but its innovative turbo-compound engine gave it a chance to prove itself - and prove itself it did.
A solid, well-made and innovative at a time, Douglas A-1 would last well into the Vietnam War, only decommissioned in the 1970s. It was an attack aircraft that could shred ground targets with its 20-mm autocannons, carry out tactical bombings (with its payload capacity of 3600 kg) and deliver torpedo strikes equally well.
There is no telling how effective Douglas A-1 would have been in WWII if it were finalized and deployed faster. And in Fight for Freedom, you’ll get to explore that exact possibility.
