▲Criticism that the U.S. Air Force did not take [[close air support]] seriously prompted a few service members to seek a specialized attack aircraft.{{sfn|Coram|2004}}{{page needed|date=March 2021}} In the [[Vietnam War]], large numbers of ground-attack aircraft were shot down by [[small arms]], [[surface-to-air missile]]s, and low-level anti-aircraft gunfire, prompting the development of an aircraft better able to survive such weapons. Fast jets such as the [[North American F-100 Super Sabre]], [[Republic F-105 Thunderchief]], and [[McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II]] proved for the most part to be ineffective for close air support. The [[Douglas A-1 Skyraider]] was the USAF's primary close air support aircraft.{{sfn|Donald|March|2004|p=8}}
