Grumman A-6 Intruder

[No.1]

One of the next subject for our magazine will be Grumman A-6 Intruder and good moment to put some images of this famous airplane.

Nice subject matter, No.1.

I've always looked at the shape of the A-6 and thought that someone at Grumman had a bit of Messerschmitt engineering blood in them--the Intruder looks a LOT like the P.1101!

[No.1]

Good point about that, do you have any drawings of German project?

[Second Air Force]

Just what I've seen on the web and in an old magazine that I have in storage. Here's a link that shows a three-view drawing toward the bottom of the page:

Wonderful Srecko!! Thanks for share all of this with us! I like this plane so much!! Very interesting to me!! Hardly wait to see his article in next issue of magazine!
One more thing. I really like this green experimental camouflage on A-6. Few days ago i have read something about that camouflage on a few of planes during the Vietnam war, like A-10,F-16... Really nice camouflage!
