AD-4 Skyraider T-Shirt – Exclusive Design by Chad Hill of Django Studios

Show your passion for aviation history with this exclusive blue T-Shirt, designed by Chad Hill of Django Studios for the Military Aviation Museum.

The Museum is proud to have a Korean War combat-veteran Douglas AD-4 Skyraider (Bu.123827) in its collection. 

The U.S. Navy and Britain’s Royal Navy each had just one aircraft carrier stationed in the Western Pacific (USS Valley Forge and HMS Triumph) when North Korea invaded. After re-arming at ‘Buckner Bay’ on Okinawa, the two carriers raced with the other ships of Task Force 77 to the Yellow Sea, the narrow body of water sandwiched between China and Korea’s western coast. They arrived in time to begin launching coordinated aerial attacks deep into North Korea by July 3rd, 1950. The Museum's Skyraider was aboard USS Valley Forge in this period, and flew dozens of missions from her deck.

This design features the markings from this combat veteran aircraft and a dramatic story from aviation history, perfect for collectors, history buffs, and aviation fans alike.
