A-26 (B-26) Invader

Douglas A-26 Invader airplane model.

The A-26 Invader stands as one of aviation's most versatile and battle-tested aircraft. Evolving from the A-20 Havoc, this powerhouse first took to the skies in 1942 and quickly proved its worth across three major conflicts. From its European combat debut in 1944 through the Korean War and Vietnam, the Invader demonstrated exceptional capability in level bombing, ground strafing, and rocket attacks. With 2,502 aircraft produced before production ended, its widespread adoption speaks volumes about its reliability and performance. The enhanced B-26K variant, featuring upgraded engines and reinforced structure, pushed capabilities even further for specialized missions. Whether you're a military history enthusiast or aviation collector, the A-26 Invader represents a remarkable chapter in warbird engineering and operational excellence.
