RA-5C Vigilante. Osprey Combat Aircraft series 12

Flybok. Of the various types of warplanes with served aboard the US Navy´s large fleet of aircraft carriers during the course of the 1960s and 1970s, few can have been as impressive as the North American Vigilante, The outcome of an ambitious concept calling for a jet-powered attack bomber to replace the Douglas A3D Skywarrior which had still to enter service when the work on the Vigilante began. North Americans design must surely rank as one of the elegant aircraft ever to grace a flight deck with its presence oozing "class" from the tip of its nose-mounted pivot tube to the top of its sharply-raked vertical fin.
