	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 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 ~~one~~ was built by modifying another Invader ([[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.
