Looks like a follon AC from the AD and the A1.
More like a follow-on to the F3D Skyknight. The profiles are almost
identical.
Agreed, and similar "Radar fighter" concept with missiles instead of
guns. (F3D was one of the first guided missile-toting fighters.)

I see that and I also see the signature Douglas fuselage that was
started with the AD and the A1. Just a natural progression. Th
canopy is definately Douglas late WWII through Korea.
I see your point. The rear fuselage and tail empennage are very
similar.- Hide quoted text -

The Douglas F6D Missileer was a concept for a subsonic fleet defence
machine, armed with six Bendix AAM-N-10 Eagle 100 mile range, two-
stage air to air missiles. The F6D would have had a loiter time of 6
hours 150 nautical miles from the carrier, and the three crew would
have engaged targets at long range using the powerfull nose-mounted
radar.
