The Douglas F3D Skyknight was the first jet that was designed as a nightfighter. It was successfully flown in combat in the Korea war. After serving mostly as a trainer for radar operators, it was used again during the Vietnam war as an ECM-aircraft.
The F3D-3 was a swept-wing version that was developed and even ordered by the U.S. Navy, but was later cancelled and never built.
