History of the A-26
Invader
Built by the Douglas Aircraft
Company during World War II, the A-
26 Invader is a twin-engine light
attack bomber designed by Ed
Heinemann, Ted Smith, and Robert
Donovan. It first flew on July 10,
1942, test-piloted by Benny Howard.
It was an unusual design for an
attack bomber during the period of
the early 1940s. It was originally built
in two different configurations. The
A-26B had a solid nose which
housed six to eight .50 caliber
machine guns which led to it being
nicknamed as Six-gun nose or Eight
gun nose and All-purpose nose. The
A-26C had a glass nose which
housed two fixed M2 machine guns,
later replaced by under-wing gun
packs, gained the nickname
Bombardier nose.
The aircraft also served in
several major conflicts of the Cold
War. It was redesignated as B-26
between 1948 and 1965 which led
to popular confusion with Martin's B-
26. Their only similarity was they
both used R-2800 engines. There
were 2,452 A-26 Invaders built. It
retired in 1980. It was priced at
$242,595 each.
*Alteration on the design such as change of paint schemes and markings or embodied features on our models occurs at any time. Detachable stand is included with the model which may vary from the photo.
