Summary
[edit]DescriptionUnited States Air Force - B-26K Counter Invader (bomber) 3 (48101505298).jpg |
(South Dakota Air & Space Museum collection, Ellsworth Air Force Base, Rapid City, South Dakota, USA) This plane is also known as the A-26A. From exhibit signage: A-26A / B-26K Counter Invader Top Speed - 322 miles per hour Crew - 4 Range - Regional Payload - 12,000 pounds of bombs and rockets; eight .50 caliber machine guns Night Hid the Attacks Until the Bombs Dropped Painted black, Invaders flew night missions over North Korea, searching for trucks and trains carrying supplies to the battlefront. Angling down, the pilot fired the eight guns in the nose. In some Invaders, a glass nose allowed a bombardier to sight targets. Bombardier Les Snyder, who later settled in Rapid City, described a mission that earned him the Distinguished Flying Cross. Flying through heavy ground fire, he and his crew reached an ammunition supply depot. When his bombs hit, they survived "the biggest and best 'fireworks' display one could imagine." A big glass nose gave B-26 bombardiers great visibility. Retired after Korea, forty aging A-26s - including this one - were retrofitted to attack insurgent supply lines in Vietnam and renamed Counter Invaders. Unlike fighter pilots, the crews on this slower attack plane could linger over their targets. Of course, that also made them easier targets for anti-aircraft fire. The A-26s were 25 years old when they flew in Vietnam. But every B-1 on Ellsworth Air Force Base is already older than that !
