Historical Overview of the A-20B Aircraft

The Douglas A-20B (also known as “Havoc” or DB-7) was a light bomber/attack aircraft built by the American Douglas Aircraft Company. Its extensive production and versatile use meant it served during World War II in the US Air Force as well as with Allied and Soviet air forces (supplied under Lend-Lease). Used from the early 1940s, it gained fame in numerous combat operations—including on the Western Front, in Africa, the Pacific, and during actions on the Eastern Front.
