History and Usage of the B-26K Counter Invader

The Douglas B-26K Counter Invader is a modernized version of the twin-engine light bomber and attack aircraft A-26 Invader, famous for its involvement in numerous armed conflicts. The B-26K version was thoroughly rebuilt in the 1960s for the needs of the USAF, with secondary operations in mind during the Vietnam War. Equipped with more powerful engines, reinforced structures, and increased firepower, this aircraft successfully carried out ground attack missions, close air support, and interdiction operations in the challenging climatic conditions of Southeast Asia. B-26K aircraft were also used for counterinsurgency during other Cold War conflicts until the late 1960s.
