Popular Post munzieb Posted July 26, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Back to planes. I belong to a forum on Facebook dedicated to recip engine powered corporate aircraft and I have been adding some of my related aircraft plaques to that group. The A-26 was a modified A-20 Marauder used in WWII with the same R2800 radial engines. It was operational in Korea and Vietnam as a ground attack aircraft. As they went out of service many were bought by private operators and modified for corporate transport use. The On Mark company upgraded several, (40-60) removing the bomb bays and military equipment and adding corporate interiors with seating for 6-8 passengers and additional side windows and upgraded avionics. The aircraft was fast at 360 mph and was popular with corporate operator until the advent of turbo prop and jets like the G-I and Learjets. I used the Umbria font. I like it because it doesn't need any bridges. Size of plaque is 11 x 14 BBPW with 1/4" backer. Finish, Shellac with gloss Lacquer.

RabidAlien Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Love it!!! The A20, A26, and B26 always confused me, as it seems the only major differentiations seemed to be the current mission profile and the number of rivets in the pilot's armrest. LOL Regardless, awesome planes all of them! danny and munzieb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
