2021年7月23日 · The Douglas A-26 Invader was a distinguished twin-engine light bomber whose origins were well-placed in the Second World War. The system proved adept at day and night flying, attacking targets with a bevy of machine guns or drop bombs and operating at low and medium altitudes with equal success.

Used primarily at night to stop supplies flowing down the Ho Chi Minh Trail, the A-26K was an effective weapon. The Travis AFB Aviation Museum has one "Invader." This Vietnam era aircraft is an A-26B converted to 'K' model configuration minus dual control and under-wing gun pods.

Initial flight of the first B-26K-OM was in 26 May 1964, with the last delivered in 1965. Five of the B-26Ks were provided to the CIA, while 30 went to Thailand from 1966 -- where they were redesignated "A-26A" in honor of tradition, the Thais having problems with bombers operating out of their country, but willing to swallow attack aircraft.

Pg 140 - Photo - "B-26K s/n 64-17677 at Clark AB in November 1965. The B-26Ks were redesignated as A-26As in early 1966 when the 603rd Air Commando Squadron deployed to Thailand for covert operations over Laos. This aircraft was transferred to South Vietnam in November 1969 as an instructional airframe and may still exist."

The A-26K was designed for counter insurgency missions in Southeast Asia. The USAF needed an aircraft to seek and destroy supplies moving towards and into South Vietnam from the north. Because of the urgent need for counter insurgency and interdiction aircraft, the USAF began using A-1E Skyraiders for these missions and the A-26Ks were not used ...

Douglas A-26 and B-26K Invader. The Douglas A-26 Invader was a U.S.-designed twin-engined light bomber and ground attack aircraft. Built by the Douglas Aircraft Company during World War II, the Invader also saw service during several major Cold War conflicts.

Upon its delivery to the 9th Air Force in Europe in November 1944 (and the Pacific Theater shortly thereafter), the A-26 became the fastest US bomber of WWII. The A-26C, with slightly-modified armament, was introduced in 1945.

The Douglas A-26 Raider is an excellent twin-engine light bomber with origins dating back to World War II. The system has proven to perform well in both day and night flight, hitting targets with a large number of machine guns or dropping bombs, and is equally successful at low to medium altitudes.

Three years later, in 1966, the Air Force redesignated the B-26K as the A-26A, which is the model in the Air Park. This aircraft, the last A-26 in the Air Force inventory, came to Hurlburt Field, when it returned from Southeast Asia.
