Douglas F3D (F-10) Skyknight series
Last updated on: April 29, 2013
268 of these two-seat all-weather interceptors were produced. Survivors were renamed F-10 in 1963. The two production models are both listed below in order of Bureau Numbers.
This is a work in progress and any help would be appreciated. Information on these planes is rather difficult to locate online and this work will remain incomplete unless you the readers offer to help me. Please feel free to pass along any information that you might have.
At the end of this page is a list of people who have graciously offered their help. Thank you all very much!
