| F.Jubert Beaconsfield, QC | I flew the B 26 in Algeria for the french Air Force in 1960 and 1961.Many good memories,this was my "first" after getting my Wings. 04/11/2008 @ 13:48 [ref: 20476] |
| john Bucko , CA | I suppose most A/B-26 were used up in Vietnam, as fire-fighting tankers and civilian high speed private corporate aircraft. Museums got some of the remaining ones and Davis-Monathon in Tucson scrapped the rest.
Are any old prop jobs, i.e. Mustangs, corsairs, bearcats, or invaders still flying with 3rd world country air forces or sitting around disintigrating in same? John 04/08/2008 @ 09:20 [ref: 20386] |

| wayne mott laguna Woods, CA | I was stationed at Nellis 1953. The tow target aircraft I was assigned to s/n 44-34204 was involved in a midair crash with a F-80-C.s/n 47-176. All crew members were lost.I was to stand down until the second go around so, my life was spared. Oct 26 1953. 03/01/2008 @ 07:21 [ref: 19832] |
| JACK shatraw winthrop ny 13697, NY | Im glad that some one else spotted that b26 in the top pisc. as I said before on wason the A-26 B and C in schwienfurt germany in 1946 we used them for towing Targets, we removedthe rear gun comt, and had a tow reel and targets. I rig up a switch in the back compartment so we could opien the bomb bay door, in case the air craft got in trouble and the tow reel oper. could bale out. all the models that we had including the C model had only7 one set of controll on left side when did they install the duel controls, i would like to know. keep in touch dont let the history of such a good airplane fade away as ever Jack 10/08/2007 @ 13:27 [ref: 18138] |

| Paul Lancaster,, MA | I flew in the Douglas TB-26B @nd Tow Target Squdn.From July 1956 to Sept. 1959. The Engines burned 75 gallons per hour each. If you took off and madee a go around it would use 70-90 gallons of fuel. 05/26/2007 @ 16:35 [ref: 16615] |
| Bob Headley , MD | Between 1949 and approximately 1953 there was a working Douglas B-26 parked on a pad at the University of Maryland in College Park where it was used for Air Force ROTCH training. Based on a partial photo, the serial number on the tail appears to be #[4]3560. Does anyone know what became of this plane or anything about its history? 05/08/2007 @ 10:39 [ref: 16434] |
