Is "A-6" a Navy designation? Otherwise it looks like an A-26. Nice photos.

It is an A-26. A typo on my part when I cataloged it.

It was referred as a B-26 for a number of years after the war although it was designated A-26,not to be confused with the Martin bomber. I've seen this bird at Andrews AFB a few years back. This type was also seen as fire bombers in the movie Always.
