Douglas Aircraft From the Late 1930s Douglas had more success meeting the Lockheed Constellation competition with its DC-6, which was first delivered to United and American airlines in November 1946 and which entered service on April 27, 1947 with United Airlines. Douglas had the four-engine DC-4, but it did not have a pressurized cabin, was slower, and could carry fewer people. The Douglas Skyraider was the only aircraft that could deliver 8,000 pounds of bombs with dive-bombing precision against such difficult targets as mountain bridges and hydroelectric dams. www.centennialofflight.gov /essay/Aerospace/Douglas_later/Aero30.htm   (1848 words)

Douglas A-20 (DB-7) Boston / Havoc Photo-1 The first Douglas DB-7s and -7As purchased by the RAF in 1940 were modified into Boston I light bombers and Havoc I night fighters and night intruders. Whatever it was called, the fast twin-engine Douglas remained a favourite with crews for its punch and rugged nature. The name Havoc was later adopted by the USAAF for all its A-20s, creating some confusion when the RAF kept calling its bomber versions of the aircraft Boston. www.kotfsc.com /aviation/a20-1.htm   (125 words)

The Martin B-26 Marauder Both the NA-40 and the DB-7 crashed during evaluation, leaving the Martin 167 technically the winner, but the USAAC was unimpressed with the Martin entry and awarded the contract to Douglas. The USAAC's first line medium bombers were the B-10 and the Douglas B-18 Bolo, both of which were clearly obsolescent and not up to the modern combat environment. The Baltimore was a reasonably combat-worthy aircraft, with some similarities in appearance and capability to the Douglas A-20 Boston. www.vectorsite.net /avb26.html   (5103 words)

Royal Air Force Waddington Station Website The Douglas DB-7 Boston was part of a family of aircraft including the Havoc, the BD-2, the F-3 and the P-70. This page is intended to provide a source of Douglas DB-7 Boston imagery for general release. Two of these were used at Waddington from December 1940 by 44 Sqn, DB-7 Flt, and these would have been the earliest version with a 1764lb bomb load and a top speed of just under 300mph. www.raf.mod.uk /rafwaddington/boston.html   (536 words)

Douglas A-20 Boston aircraft profile. Aircraft Database of the Fleet Air Arm Archive 1939-1945 The original aircraft in this series, the DB-7 (Douglas Bomber 7), was built as a private venture by Douglas. The Douglas Boston-Havoc UK Preservation Trust is restoring a forward fuselage, and two Bostons have been restored at the RAAF museum from former wrecks. The American-designed and built Douglas A-20 "Boston" and its fighter variant, the"Havoc", were designed to meet an Army Air Corps attack specification in 1938. www.fleetairarmarchive.net /Aircraft/Boston.htm   (910 words)

p70 The origin of the DB-7/A-20/Havoc/Boston series can be traced back to 1936, when Donald Douglas, Jack Northrop, and Ed Heinemann and a group of Wright Field technicians drew up a set of requirements for a twin-engined light attack bomber. The modified version for the Armee de l'Air was designated DB-7 (which stood for Douglas Bomber 7). The initial Douglas proposal bore the designation Model 7A, and was a two-seater powered by a pair of 450 hp engines and capable of achieving a maximum speed of 250 mph. www.ibiblio.org /pub/academic/history/marshall/military/airforce/p_series_fighters/p70   (3028 words)

FW: Mission Generator Bataille de France·2 The American bombers Douglas DB-7 and Martin M-167f (95 and 283 delivered respectively) were launched in the battle as of the end May, but did not have time to show their remarkable qualities. If you have the ADCs for the Douglas DB-7 and the Martin M.167F, you can add them to the French side of this table for the May 16 to June 15 column. The two first, performed by mainly the Potez 63.11 (a plane less capable than those the Germans employed for the same missions - Do 17P and Hs 126) and too seldom the exceptional Bloch MB.174, had the difficult task of locating the advanced positions of the enemy, too often without a suitable escort. uncleted.jinak.cz /sFran3.htm   (1432 words)

Douglas R3D, by Jack McKillop The Douglas design team had just completed work on the Douglas Bomber Model Number 7 (DB-7) which became known as the A-20 in U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF) service and the BD, q.v., in USN service during World War II. Douglas began work during the summer on a 16-passenger aircraft designed for short-haul feeder routes. By the summer of 1938, over 100 Douglas DC-3's, designated R4D, q.v., when used by the U.S. Navy (USN), had been delivered to U.S. airlines and were being used on long-haul routes with high-density traffic. www.microworks.net /pacific/aviation/r3d.htm   (966 words)

PARKER INFORMATION RESOURCES / AIRPLANE PLANS However, the Douglas bid of $142,250 per aircraft was considered excessively high by the Army's Materiel Division, and negotiations between the manufacturer and the War Department delayed approval of the project until October 21, 1941. On February 28, 1941, Douglas proposed that 500 of these aircraft be built at the Santa Monica plant, with the first deliveries set to begin 20 months after contract approval. In the autumn of 1940, Douglas began a preliminary design study to develop a common successor to the Douglas A-20, Martin B-26, and North American B-25 bombers, none of which had yet entered service with the US Army Air Corps. www.parkerinfo.com /plans/applans4.htm   (5325 words)

Michael McFadyen's Scuba Diving - Douglas A-20 Havoc The Douglas A-20A Havoc attack bomber was 14.6 metres long with a 18.7 metre wingspan. In 1940 two Douglas A-20A-DE Havoc attack fighter/bombers (DE signifying Douglas and El Segundo), serial numbers 40-176 and 40-173, were built at the El Segundo plant. Two Douglas A-20 Havoc aircraft are recorded as having crashed in the Loloata Island area of Bootless Bay. www.michaelmcfadyenscuba.info /articles/havoc.htm   (4324 words)

Douglas A20 Boston / Havoc Concepted in 1936 as a new generation light bomber, the Douglas DB-7 demonstrated itself to be very modern for its times. Modified to fullfil the French prerequisites, the DB-7 was sent to first line in 60 exemplars, but only 12 effectively engaged combat before the armistice. But while the USAAC wasn t interested in this project, the Douglas commenced to export the plane, selling the first 100 planes to France. www.tgplanes.com /planfile.asp?idplane=2   (166 words)

Boeing: History -- Products - Douglas DB-7/A-20 Boston/Havoc Attack Bomber A total of 7,477 DB-7/A-20s were built, most at Douglas, although 380 were built at the Boeing plant in Seattle, Wash. The Havoc was a mid-wing, twin-engine, three-place medium bomber that earned a reputation for getting its crews home, even when both crew and aircraft suffered crippling blows. The French saw the secret bomber project at the Douglas Santa Monica, Calif., facility and ordered the first 107 DB-7s; they were to be delivered to the French Purchasing Commission at Santa Monica starting in October, with deliveries made by ship to Casablanca. The Douglas DB-7/A-20 Havoc was the most-produced attack bomber during World War II. www.boeing.com /history/mdc/havoc.htm   (334 words)

WW2 Warbirds: the Douglas A-20 Havoc - Frans Bonné British requirements for a fast day bomber made Douglas improve their DB-7 design. It had a length of 47 ft 7 in (14,50 m), empty and max take-off weights of 15,165 lb (6.879 kg) and 20,711 lb (9.394 kg) respectively, max level speed of 347 Mph (558 km/h), max range of 1,000 miles (1.609 km), and a ceiling of 28,175 ft (8.590 m). This type was built by Douglas and Boeing both, and the last 433 Douglas aircraft had also an additional 116.6 Imp gal (140 US gal, 530 l) of fuel capacity, located in the weapons bay. www.xs4all.nl /~fbonne/warbirds/ww2htmls/douga20.html   (2168 words)
