Big, Beautiful, Beastly, Twin Served America Well
It was a big bad beautiful twin... unless you were on the other
side... then you might have thought it a bit of bad news. History
tells us that the Douglas A-26 Invader series, otherwise known as
the B-26 between 1948–1965, was a multi-engine light attack
bomber built by Douglas Aircraft. The bird saw principle use during
World War II but also saw service for decades afterwards...
including the ignominious Bay of Pigs invasion. Highly modified
aircraft continued to serve the US through 1969.
