List of Invaders by Country

The Fuerza Aera de Nicaagua (Air Force of Nicargua) operated a number of Invaders between 1961 and 1976. It appears as though Nicaragua operated more invaders than they really did because around 1970 several of the ones bearing a 400-series number were re-numbered with a 600-series.
