Invader

The A-26, a follow-up airplane to the A-20 “Havoc,” made its first flight on 10 July 1942. Production delivery began in August 1943, and on 19 November 1944, it went into combat over Europe. It was used for level bombing, ground strafing and rocket attacks. By the time production halted after VJ-Day, 2,502 Invaders had been built.
