## About This Content
When first designed in 1947, the Douglas Skyray™ was on the cutting edge of
aviation technology. In 1948, Douglas Aircraft™ was contracted to build the
F4D-1™, with the first flight of a production model taking place in 1954.
Known as the ‘ten-minute killer’, the aircraft broke five world records in the
time-to-altitude category and exceeded Mach 1 in level flight. In 1953, the
Skyray™ shared honors with North American’s Super Sabre™ in being awarded the
prestigious Collier Trophy. In the late 1950s, an F4D1-equipped squadron was
recognized as the top interceptor squadron in the North American Air Defense
Command, an area previously dominated by Air Force aircraft.

In all, Douglas produced 421 Skyrays, including two XF4D™ prototypes. The last
of the type left the El Segundo, California, plant in December, 1958. It was
designated the F-6A™ in 1963 and served both Marine and Navy carrier squadrons
until early 1964.
