Re: A-20 Havoc
Looks like the same guys, but the one in jeans changed his headgear.

Re: A-20 Havoc
Yepp, there was a version that had the nose packed with guns that was used for skipbombing in the PTO.

Re: A-20 Havoc
Salutations All
The solid nose A-20 Havoc had a brace of 8 .50in Browning, and if memory serves some had 50mm anti tank guns as well. Regards Roddoss72

Re: A-20 Havoc
It may be a silly question but, what kind of accuracy did the crews achieve with the 50mm?
