Same mission and all, but the A-29 is a turboprop because it's a) cheaper and b) simpler to fly and maintain than a military jet intended for militaries that are primarily concerned about such things. The A-1 was a prop because it was part of the last generation of military prop planes. I don't think the designers of the A-29 were looking to recreate the success of the A-1. Looks like an effective platform, tho.
