Serial: 43-22499
History: Click Here
The A-26 was developed by Douglas Aircraft as a replacement for their A-20 "Havoc" to fulfill a requirement for a multi-role aircraft for both low-level ground attack and medium-altitude precision bombing. First test flown in 1942, it exceeded every stipulated design specification. With its twin 2000hp Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engines, the "Invader" was faster, had better performance and could carry more of a bomb load that either of the two primary medium bombers at the time, the North American B-25 "Mitchell' and Martin B-26 "Marauder."
