| Robert Finch , CA | The A-26 in the photo on the bottom row, second from the left, was from the 84th Bomb Squadron, 47th Bomb Group, stationed at Biggs Field, El Paso, Texas. It was common practice for pilots in the 47th BG to fly "missions" to
cities they wanted to visit in the years after the war. The seats of these planes were allways filled with personnel who wanted to get away from El Paso for a few days. Two months after this photo was taken, two A-26's from the 84th BS collided at an airshow in Idaho, killing all the people aboard. 02/07/2009 @ 11:05 [ref: 23662] |

| Reg Holden Tarboro, NC | Hq Tac at Langley AFB had B=26s for admin transport in the 50s & 60s. They were great for getting around or across the country. I rode many a mile in them. Long may the memories live. Is the picture in the upper right at the top of the site a test? Looks like a Martin B-26! 12/03/2008 @ 17:27 [ref: 23180] |
| 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] |
