The Douglas A-26E Invader was intended to be a version of the glass nosed A-26C but with the same more powerful 2,100hp Chevrolet-built R-2800-83 engines - the same engines that were intended to go into the A-26D. As with the A-26D, this would have lifted the aircraft's top speed up to 400mph, and as with the A-26D the end of the Second World War meant that no A-26Es were built. Unlike the A-26D, no physical prototypes of this version were built.
