KTTV didn't start until Dec. '46. Korea maybe?

That's a cold war Onmark COIN conversion B26, not WWII at all.

Hey, wasn't it Arkansas ANG that contributed their A/B26s to the Bay of Pigs invasion air cover?

I heard it was MissANG I could go look in the book "Foreign Invaders" and it might say. Suppsoedly we had one of the survivors rattling around Central FL for a number of years.
One of the "grey eagles" at an FBO where I taught flew A/B26s in Korea and early days 'Nam, and he said those Bay of Pigs guys didn't know how to use their plane properly against MiGs and suffered for it. "Down in the weeds in a recip under MiG attack the fighter pilot adage of 'speed is life' is NOT your answer. Use your accelerate-decelerate and turn radius to frustrate him into slowing down, then goose it and nail him. A gun nose Invader can tear up a MiG pretty good."

The BoP B-26's were not fighting Migs but T-33A's, Sea Fury's, and other B-26's. And they did not have any gun turrets.
The book says that the B-26's used in BoP were NOT drawn from the Recon Wing of the 117th Alabama National Guard.

Dick, (who wasn't there) said they were "gun nose" B26s like he flew in 'Nam.
