United States (Navy)
The US Navy was the 3rd most prolific operator of the Douglas Invader, after the US Air force, and the French Air Force (Armeé de L'Air). The Navy operated 152 Invaders under the designation JD-1. The JD-1s were used as utility planes that towed aerial targets and many were modified to be drone carriers.
The Navy Buoy Number list is incomplete. The US Navy has not yet made these Buoy Number Records available online, so as such I can only cross-reference a handful of these planes to their original USAF serials. Naval history and service is limited to what can be gleaned from photos at this time. If you have any additional information that can help fill in gaps, please let us know.
