Hobby Master 1:72 Air Power Series A-26C Invader 363rd Wing Shaw AFB 1955 Hobby Master HA3221 Scale 1:72 363rd Tactical Reconnaissance Wing, Shaw Air Force Base, 1955 Diecast Model 1:72 Scale Item: HA3221 In 1941 Douglas Aircraft Company began work on their twin-engine medium-bomber A-26 Invader. By the end of production there were 2,452 aircraft produced for all variants. The A- 26/B-26 was the only U.S. bomber to take part in three wars, WWII, Korea and Vietnam. The confusion with the use of the designation B-26 began when the Martin B-26 Marauder was retired and in 1948 the USAF dropped the “A” (Attack) designator so the Douglas A-26 Invader became the B-26 Invader. The A-26 made its first European appearance in late 1944. Douglas RB-26C Invader 44-35581 c/n 28860 was manufactured as an A-26C-40-DT. The 363rd TRW originally was based at Langley AFB but in 1951 was moved to Shaw AFB, and became the parent wing. The 363rd remained at Shaw AFB until December 30, 1993. The unit flew the Douglas RB-26C until 1957 when they were replaced by the jet-powered Canberra. In June 1958 44-35581 was sold as surplus and in 1976 was bought by Air Spray Ltd. from Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. Registered as C-GWJG it became tanker #9 and on July 1, 1982 the aircraft was destroyed in a crash killing the sole occupant.
