The production of the Invader began first at the Long Beach plant. The solid-nosed B was actually the first off the production line (41-39100). The first of five A-26B-1-DL Invaders appeared in September of 1943. As compared with the prototype, the A-26B had an increased bomb load (6000 pounds) and higher internal fuel capacity of 1600 US gallons. The powerplants were housed in slightly revised nacelles and drove three-bladed propellers without spinners. The engines were a pair of 2000 hp Pratt & Whitney R-2800-27 radials.
These planes were painted in typical WW2 bomber camouflage.
