Here lies a prototype list of American attack aircraft. There is a list of attack aircraft which contains planes of various nations, and there are similar lists for bombers and fighters, but no American-specific list. I think there may have been such articles in the past, but I can't find any evidence of them (with an admittedly very cursory search). Oh shit, here we go. Also this.
A list like this, with no date range limits, will probably be annoying to compile as some designations are recycled for use with other aircraft (like the A-3 Falcon and the later A-3 Skywarrior). Additionally, some aircraft existed only as prototypes or experimental planes (with a Y or X prefix) and never entered serial production; those aircraft shall be listed, anyway. Other planes did not receive a name. Some designs—Navy planes—were affected by the 1962 realignment; their previous designation will be listed under Other Designations. The Introduction and Retirement cells will be filled with the closest appropriate date, i.e. for one-off or experimental designs, the date may be the first flight.
Other cells may be added if I can convince myself they're needed.
