[edit]DescriptionA-4E VA-44 nuclear cockpit shield NAN8-73.jpg |
English: A Douglas A-4E Skyhawk of USN attack squadron VA-44 Hornets showing the thermal shield in different positions. The device was to be used after the delivery of a nuclear weapon, so that the pilot would be protected against the flash of the detonation. It is known that during the Lebanon crisis in 1958 Skyhawks of VA-83 Rampagers aboard the USS Essex (CVA-9), and of VA-34 Blue Blasters aboard the USS Saratoga (CVA-60) were armed with nuclear weapons and standing by for any upcoming 'emergency'. |
