Adapted from Hasegawa:
1950s tasked the design team at Douglas Aircraft to come up with a next-generation carrier-borne ground attack plane. Douglas, utilizing the newest in light aircraft design technology, came up with a proposal for a small jet weighing a mere 6.8 tons and with a wingspan of only 8.4 meters. Douglas ended up with a Navy contract, and the prototype made its maiden flight on June 22, 1954, featuring a superlight airframe and a layout emphasizing efficient and simple manufacturing.
