The A/B-26 Invader was a fast twin-engined light bomber and ground attack aircraft capable of carrying a large bomb load. Designed and built by the Douglas company, it was the successor to their A-20 Havoc, one of the most successful and widely operated Allied types of World War II. Originally designated as the A-26 it was re-designated in 1948 as the B26, when the attack role 'A'prefix was retired, and the B-26 Marauder was taken out of service.
The aircraft was built in two basic versions - The A-26B with a solid gun-nose containing a battery of six 0.50 calibre machine guns, later increased to eight, and the A-26C's 'glass' nose with a Norden bombsight for medium-altitude precision bombing.
