During World War II, the B-26 (formerly A-26) was developed by the Douglas Aircraft Company to fill the need for a modern attack plane. It was named the Invader and was the fastest attack bomber of its day. Combining speed, heavy firepower, and bomb capacity, it served well as a straight bomber, night fighter, skip bomber, or as a strafing and attack plane. This model of the B-26 carried eighteen .50 cal. machine guns and 6 rockets in addition to the regular bomb load within the fuselage. The gun turrets in the fuselage were remotely controlled and were aimed by a gunner using a periscope-like sighting mechanism. The Invader had a wingspan of 70 feet and was 50 feet, 9-inches long. Cruising speed was in the 300 mph class, and power was supplied by two 18 cylinder, double-row Pratt and Whitney radial engines. The normal crew consisted of 3 men. Ages 14 and up.
