History of the A-20
Havoc
Introduced by the Douglas
Aircraft Company in1941 during
World War II, the A-20 Havoc was an
American attack, light bomber and
night fighter aircraft. Also designated
as DB-7 Havoc, its maiden flight
was on January 23, 1939. The US
Army Air Corps issued
specifications for an attack aircraft,
and the Douglas team headed by Ed
Heinemann took the Model 7A
design and upgraded it to 1,100 hp
Pratt & Whitney R-1830 S3C3-G
Twin Wasp engines. Then, they
submitted it as the Model 7B design
which faced competition against the
NA-40, Stearman X-100, and Martin
167F. Although it did not attract US
orders, it attracted the attention of
French Purchasing Commission
visiting the US instead.
The A-20 Havoc carried four fixed
7.7 mm Browning machine guns,
two flexible 7.7 Browning machine
guns, and one flexible 7.7 mm
Vickers K machine gun. It also
carried up to 4,000 lbs of bombs.
7,478 Havocs were built. It retired in
1949. The aircraft was also known
as Boston among British and
Commonwealth air forces.
