Summary

Description	The first U.S. Navy Douglas XA2D-1 Skyshark (BuNo 122988). It crashed at Edwards Air Force Base, California (USA), on 19 December 1950, killing the pilot Lt..Cdr. Hugh Wood. An investigation later determined that the failure of one of the XT-38-A gas turbines during a test dive was most likely the cause of the crash.
