Neither would I. The ground attack version packed six .50 machine guns in the nose (plus four more in twin tail and dorsal positions), with an additional *ten* machine guns could be mounted in special packs (eight on the wings in pairs, two more on the outside of the fuselage). Plus, the twin guns in the dorsal mount could be locked forward and fired by the pilot. This meant that an enemy target would be facing no less than *sixteen* .50 caliber machine guns!Imagine having to face that much firepower...
umm... The A-26 was called the B-26 in vietnam(B-26 Counter Invader)And the Old b-26 and the A-26 were two very diffrent aircraft,and the old b-26 was decomissioned in 1948 and the a-26 was decommissioned in 1970,In my opinion the Old model of B-26 was not even in comparision with the A-26 in preformanceMP-Willow said:I would agree that the A_26 was a fine aircraft, but in refferance to the change over from the designation of A-26 to B-26, one must be very caerful. The two are simmilar, and did the same types of jobs, but that dose not mean that they should be concidered in the same breath. I think the B-26 was a little more versital, but really it was the crews in theature, mostly the Pacific who would come up with the different applications and Armorments.
Dose anyone know of any flying now?
