A-26D

The Douglas A-26D Invader was intended to be an improved version of the solid-nosed A-26B with more powerful engines. Two different XA-26D prototypes were produced.

The first prototype was made by converting an B-model (44-34100), by fitting a standard A-26B with two Chevrolet built 2,100hp R-2800-83 engines. This increased the aircraft's top speed by 80mph.

The second prototype was built by modifying another Invader B-model (44-34776) and featured a 4-blade propeller design.

Douglas received an order for 750 A-26Ds, but the order was cancelled after the end of the war in the Pacific and before any aircraft had been completed.
