2.0 out of 5 stars A-26 Invader Very Disappointing
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2013
The Douglas A-26 Invader often gets lost in the shuffle. Developed just as WW2 was ending, it was better, faster than the B-26 Martin Marauder, approximately 2,400 were made. The USAF couldn't get rid of the Marauders fast enough, but not before there was confusion surrounding the name/ID of the Invader, which also saw action in Korea & Vietnam.

34 pages of this book are in B&W, most of those from WW2, but some are of the museum A-26 survivors. Many of the pictures, both the color and the B&W are grainy and not of good quality. Perhaps that is why the book was deeply discounted. There's no excuse for Squadron Signal, who usually produces excellent products, would allow this to be printed. Had I paid full price, would have sent it right back.
