Role: Strike Fighter
This fighter/bomber was developed right after ww2 during the korean war. They needed something durable, yet fast that could bomb small enemy troop concentrations. So they came up with this design. Even though it was outclassed by russian aircraft in everything except armement, this plane needed to stick close to fighters for support. After the success in korea, they tested there luck in vietnam. Though it had an outdated design, its ruggedness aloud for low and slow flights that most other jets couldn't do at the time.
