Invader Squadrons

Many of these units have long and storied histories. With few exceptions, most of these units started with planes other than the A-26 Invader and then switched over to the Invader. In the interest of clarity, most of the information presented here is focused on the Invader. Other general information and history may be added at a later date.

Information on these units includes plane identification markings, base locations, commanders, periods of operation, and a plane roster (pieced together from photographic records).
