Description

Douglas A-26C Invader at Cavanaugh Flight Museum The Douglas A-26 was designed as a medium attack bomber replacement for the B-25's and Martin B-26's of pre World War II vintage. The Douglas A-26 saw combat in every theater of World War II, Korea and Vietnam. It was redesignated a Douglas B-26 in 1948 after the retiring of all Martin B-26 Marauders. There were 226 aircraft lost in the Korean War where the Invader performed night harassment missions. It was the last aircraft to bomb North Korea, dropping a bomb load just 3 minutes before the cease-fire was signed. Several A-26's were supplied to Cuban revolutionaries during the Bay of Pigs.

Impressive capture Richard. I bet the guy sitting in the nosebay, had an awesome view when they were landing, it would look like the runway was going to come right thru the glass.

awesome bird. supplying the rest of the world with weapons and such is one of our problems, and it usually comes back to haunt us later. Like working with the taliban in the past, and training afgan soldiers and such.
