Historical Profile

The twin-engine attack aircraft A-26 Invader, designed
and manufactured by the American company Douglas, has had an extraordinary long
operational life. The first units reached the war front during the Second World
War, in 1943, and the latest versions have taken part in all the major
conflicts of the '50s and '60s, such as Korea and Indochina, until the Vietnam
War. The most produced version was the A-26B characterized by the adoption of
heavy weaponry in a “solid” nose equipped with 8 .50 caliber Browning M2
machine guns. Thanks to its reliability and solidity, was possible to install
in the nose  a wide range of weapons such
as 20 mm. guns, 37 mm guns, and a 75mm pack howitzer. The two reliable Pratt
& Whitney R-2800 "Double Wasp" 2,000 hp radial engines permitted
to A-26 to reach a max speed of 570 Km/h even “fully loaded”.
