The Douglas A-26 Invader is an American twin-engine, full-metal light
bomber. The first flight of the prototype took place on July 10, 1942.
The plane, due to its great aerodynamic properties, high performance and
ease of use, served during World War II, the Korean and Vietnam War.
The last A-26 (already designated A-26A) was withdrawn from the line
only in 1969! In total, 2,452 of this aircraft were built. During World
War II, the A-26 was built in numerous versions, two of which deserve
attention. The A-26B ("assault") version had a built-in nose of the
plane with eight 12.7 mm machine guns, 20-30 mm cannons or a single 75mm
cannon, and the A-26B ("bomber") version where the nose of the aircraft
was glazed , and there were sights of the "Norden" type. This version
was used for precision bombing. Technical data: Top speed: 571 km / h;
