Hypothetical -- You are the ruler of a third world country

Yeah and the people from Florida (nothing but Displaced Yankees! anyways) invade North Carolina every summer and fall. Me and my family have a house in the mountains of North Carolina and we would always have to leave the area when the "Floridiots" would come!
 
I can see why they invade NC tho, Ive got family out there, and when I visited the Outer Banks I knew Id found the place I wanted to live when I get out the hole I presently call home!

Back on topic (sorry! ), I can see where people are coming from with not choosing a heavy bomber, but think of it this way:

A third world country doesnt have a lot of infrastructure. A week-long offensive with a wing of heavies would destroy what was there...then you walk in and begin the victory celebrations
 
If you had only to launch a minimal ground offensive against an enemy with no C3I structure or logistical support, it could well be worth it. After all, you'd spend the dosh on a landward slog to the objective otherwise...
 
Heavy Bomber:B-24 or Pe-8, both could carry bug payloads
Light / Attack Bomber: A-26, but wasn't that a medium bomber? That or Il-2
Fighter Bomber:Mossie or Beaufighter
Air to Air: P-51
Trainer:Hind, could be used as trainer and light bomber/close ground support
 
The A-26 could be used as a light bomber or a attack aircraft. She could carry a good payload of 6000lb of bombs and she packed a punch of cannons and machine guns. I believe she could even be fitted with rockets under the wings.
 
Really, it was a party open to being spoilt but I like the A-26 so unfortunately (for me) I wasn't able to spoil the party with any serious conviction.
