U.S. Marine Corps photo by USMC/Released 621001-M-0000U-001.jpg
Oct 1, 1962
Marines of Marine Attack Squadron 225 go over the manuals concerning the new A-4D Skyhawk on the flight line of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point in 1962. Jets proved themselves to be more reliable, more survivable and much faster than their propeller-driven predecessors. This led to the Marine Corps replacing all propeller-driven fighter aircraft with jets prior to American involvement in the Vietnam War.
