A-26A

	Douglas A-26A Invader
	The A-26 was designed as a medium attack bomber replacement for the North American B-25 and Martin B-26 of pre World War II vintage. The Invader saw combat in every theater of WWII, Korea and Vietnam. It was redesignated the B-26 in 1948. The Douglas B-26 was the last aircraft to bomb North Korea (1953), dropping a bomb load just three minutes before the cease-fire agreement was signed. Several of the aircraft were supplied to anti-Castro forces during the 1961 Bay of Pigs incursion. Later models were refurbished and used in Vietnam for reconnaissance and combat duties.
