General Dynamics and Grumman dispute unit costs while proponents trumpet potential savings from a common airframe. Navy demands and endurance specs are reshaped as versions differ for Air Force and Navy use.

AP photographer Bob Poos rode with Maj. Monroe Blaylock and Capt. LeRoy Lowe of the 1st Air Commando Squadron in Pleiku and PLELKU South Vietnam as Skyraiders strafed and napalm fell on Viet Cong targets.
