All A-3 Skywarriors Produced by Douglas
This list includes all 281 that saw Naval service and 2 prototypes. The original list was current in 1987 as compiled in Rene Francillon's book Douglas A-3 Skywarrior. As the Skywarrior continued in active service until 1991, final disposition of some aircraft is unaccounted for. This list is currently being researched to account for the final disposition of each aircraft. Notes are updated as new information surfaces.
