Douglas DB-7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 20 Havocs were Havoc Mk I (Pandora) intruder aircraft, trailing the Long Aerial Mine (LAM) which was an explosive charge trailed on a long cable in the path of enemy aircraft in the hope of scoring a hit. The aircraft was known as the "Boston" among Commonwealth airforces, while the night fighter variants were known as the "Havoc." The USAAF assigned the DB-7 the designation "A-20" and gave it the popular name "Havoc," adopted from the RAF moniker. Both were similar to the DB-7B, the A-20 was to be fitted with turbosupercharged Wright R-2600-7 engines, but these were bulky and the prototype suffered cooling problems, so the remainder were completed with the un-supercharged R-2600-11, 59 as P-70 fighters and 3 as F-3 reconnaissance planes (of which more later). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/A-20_Havoc   (1752 words)

Douglas A-20 Havoc Although dubbed the "Havoc" by the Army Air Force, the name did not seem to catch on in the South Pacific, where it was called simply "A-20". A-20 production halted in September 1944 with more than 7,000 built for the U.S. and its allies. One of its only drawbacks being its limited fuel range worst represented by the Black Sunday mission of April 16, 1944 when many A-20s were lost in New Guinea. www.pacificwrecks.com /resources/tech/aircraft/havoc.html   (249 words)

Havoc Mk II A second batch of about 100 DB-7As were converted similarly, except for being armed with 12 nose mounted machine guns, and were designated Havoc Mk II. Neither the A-20 nor A-20H version served with the RAF, but the A-20J and A-20K, bomb-leader versions of the A-20G and A-20H respectively, were built for both the USAAF and RAF, with the respective designations Boston Mk IV and Boston Mk V in service with the Royal Air Force. www.kotfsc.com /aviation/a20-v.htm   (1924 words)

Douglas A-20 Havoc -- Chapter 10 The A-20A was essentially similar to the A-20 except for the omission of the trouble-prone turbosupercharger. On the same day that the US Army ordered the A-20 high-altitude light bomber, it also ordered the A-20A, which was a low- and medium-altitude version of the Douglas attack bomber. Like the British DB-7A, early A-20As were fitted with cooling vents along the sides of the engine cowling, but these were later deleted since they were found to be of little use. www.csd.uwo.ca /~pettypi/elevon/baugher_us/a20-10.html   (653 words)

TG's Warbirds -A-20 "Havoc" and A-26 "Invader" The A-20 has the same basic Wright R-2600s as the B-25 and is not an unattractive plane.
