Douglas A-20 Havoc Bomber Plane

The Douglas DB-7 Havoc was an American fighter bomber designed by Ed Heinemann just before WW2, the design proved to be highly adaptable, and in many respects handled more like a fighter than a bomber,  consequently it was very popular with it's pilots. The  Douglas A-20 Havoc's primary users were the Soviet Union, United Kingdom, and the United States. The Douglas A-20 was used by the RAF and Common-Wealth forces in a night-fighter role as the "Havoc" and as a light bomber as the "Boston" (all RAF medium to heavy bombers were named after towns), US forces called the aircraft the "A-20" Havoc.
