Shea Field Memorial Grove
On June 12, 1952, the U.S. Navy contracted with Douglas Aircraft Company to build one prototype XA4D-1 Skyhawk attack aircraft. Before delivery of the A4D to fleet units, an improved version, the A4D-2 was ordered into production. This Skyhawk (Bureau Number 142940) was flown from Naval Air Station South Weymouth by Marine and Navy Reserve Attack squadrons through much of the 1960's. It was one of 542 of the "B" version (designations were changed in the 1960's) to roll off the assembly line starting in 1956. A total of 2,960 of the many versions of the A4 were built.HM Number | HM193M |
