Douglas F3D Skyknight

The Douglas F3D Skyknight (later designated F-10 Skyknight) was a carrier-based all-weather night fighter and saw service with the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps.

While it never achieved the fame of the North American F-86 Sabre, it did down several Soviet-built MiG-15s as a night fighter over Korea with only one air-to-air loss of its own against a Chinese MiG-15, which occurred on the night of 29 May 1953.
