To keep costs down and speed delivery, the A-7 design was based on the F-8 Crusader, which is no longer in the inventory. The A-7A flew for the first time in September 1965. Since then, other versions of the Corsair II have been produced for the Air Force and Navy, and the Greek and Portuguese air forces. The A-7D model, developed for the Air Force, was accepted in December 1968. While it was designed primarily for an air-to-surface attack role, its weapons delivery accuracy, extended range, ordnance payload and responsiveness also met requirements for close air support and air interdiction. Production of 459 A-7Ds was completed in December 1976. The aircraft first entered combat in the Vietnam War in October 1972. Deliveries of the A-7D to Air National Guard squadrons began in 1973; final deliveries were made in 1981. " | |

However, the motor did not impress the Regia Aeronautica and they did not purchase the Re2000. So Officine Meccaniche Reggiane SpA (Caproni) developed a variant of it, primarily with the greatly improved Daimler Benz Bd 601 motor, and called it the Re2001. It turned out to be a fine aircraft with good all around characteristics. But it was ill fated. The RA demanded a long series of ""improvements"" that held back production so that it was not operational until Dec. 1941, and then only 140 were produced by 1942. The basic problem was that most of the German made engines were put into Maachi 202s. Only 237 Re2001s were built. These flew in the fighter/bomber role and later as night fighters, never in their intended role as interceptors. " | |
