Learn all about the Douglas A-26 Invader which was a United States twin-engine light bomber and attack aircraft built by Douglas Aircraft during World War II that also saw service during several of the Cold War's major conflicts. Douglas started the A-26 in 1941. The Douglas A-26 (now called the B-26) bomber was the only American bomber to fly missions in three wars. After World War II, it served as a first-line bomber during the Korean War and during the Vietnam War. The last U.S. military Invader was retired in 1972 and donated to the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum.

The F-111 "Aardvark" was not only a controversial aircraft from the start, many, including the Navy didn't want it, and would become known as "McNamara' s folly" (the Secretary of the Department of Defense). He wanted all the services to have basically the same aircraft, with the highest percentage of parts interchangeably. The Air Force version had its growing pains, like any new aircraft, but as Lou Drendel shows in one of the first books produced on this aircraft, even with three aircraft lost out of the original six sent to Southeast Asia in "Operation Combat Lancer", the aircraft became the premier strike aircraft in the world. In this early book, we see the development of both Air Force & Navy versions, and why the Navy version didn't come to fruition, being replaced by the fantastic F-14 Tomcat. Flown by the USAF and the Australian Air Force only, the F-111 came to have s great reputation. Lou Drendel gives us the early scoop on this aircraft, another of his gems of his artwork, line drawings, and a collection of great photographs.

"The F-14 Tomcat Is the ultimate air-combat weapons system."....So goes the opening line of the Grumman Aerospace Corporation's information sheet on the Tomcat. Parochial as it may seem, this is a fair assessment of the F-14, lor the Tomcat has bridged the gap from yesterday to tommorrow. In aerodynamics and avionics. Even before the Tomcat flew, it was in a battle for survival, as the full wrath of anti-military congressional critics was directed at each new weapons system proposed in the waning months of the Vietnam War. That it was born of the abortive F-111B. which was to have been the Navy version of the F-111A. one TFX, did nothing to smooth the bumpy road from design to fleet introduction.

In 1926, the fledgling Lockheed Aircraft Company, under the direction of Malcolm and Allen Lockheed and John Northrop, introduced the first high performance business plane - the Vega. Other ships such as the Sirius, Altair and Orion soon followed. Until the crash of the stock market in 1929 things looked bright for the young company, but from that point on, the outlook was much less clear. By 1932, it appeared the company would follow many others into bankruptcy; but such was not to be. Robert Gross, Carl Squier and Lloyd Stearman believed the company had a future and went to the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles where they purchased Lockheed for the princely sum of $40,000. The first new design to come from the reorganized company was the twin-engined Electra. In March 1933, a model of this new ship was sent to the University of Michigan for wind tunnel tests. One of the men responsible for the tests was a young engineer by the name of Clarence L. "Kelly" Johnson. The Lockheed management was so impressed with Johnson that he was hired. This proved an extremely wise move, for four years later, the design of the P-38 would spring from his fertile mind.
