 == Description ==
 <!-- ''In the description, the first part should be about the history of and the creation and combat usage of the aircraft, as well as its key features. In the second part, tell the reader about the aircraft in the game. Insert a screenshot of the vehicle, so that if the novice player does not remember the vehicle by name, he will immediately understand what kind of vehicle the article is talking about.'' -->
-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a premium gift rank {{Specs|rank}} American strike aircraft {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Fire and Ice"]] as a reward for [[Battle Pass: Season IX, "Smell of Victory"]].
+By the Vietnam War, the AD Skyraiders had an extensive combat record with the USA since the Korean War. Seven major variants of the aircraft was produced, numbered AD-1 to AD-7. As part of the 1962 Tri-service designation system, the Skyraider was redesigned into "A-1", with letters A-J to represent each variant. The AD-6, now known as the A-1H, would be the most numerous produced at 712 units and would serve as an essential ground support aircraft for the US throughout the Vietnam War. The A-1H's had one of its most memorable moment come in October 1965 when Commander Clarence J. Stoddard of the US Navy, to commemorate the 6 millionth pound of ordnance dropped, included a mounted toilet in his munitions load and dropped it in combat operations.
