It based on Julhelms RA-5C Vigilante. ---------------------------------------------------------- I. History In 1960 the North American company decided to develope a fighter version of the A-5 Vigilante attack plane. The project got the designation NR-349 Retaliator. The NR-349 Retaliator was North American's proposal for a high-performance fighter aircraft for the US military as a variant of the A-5 with three engines. A third General Electric J79 was in the shaft between the other two engines with two narrow air inlets offset backwards above the inlets of the other engines. The aircraft was to be armed with six AIM-54 Phoenix at sub-fuselage stations. The US Air Force was not interested in, but the US Navy. The Retaliator should act as fleet defender, to intercept incoming long range bombers before they could fire their missiles on US carriers. The US Navy demanded to replace the third engine by an increased internal fuel capacity. Four prototypes where built and the decission was made to reduce the number of Phoenix missiles. So the F-113A Retaliator came into serial production in 1965. 1966 the first units of the uS Navy got the new fighter plane. The Retaliator was used for more than 10 years. Then it was replaced by the F-14A Tomcat. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- II.
