EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the North American A-36A N251A, with the serial number 42-83731 (MSN 97-15949), proudly displayed at The Fighter Collection in Duxford, United Kingdom, around the turn of the millennium. The North American A-36A, also known as the "Invader," is a single-engine, twin-boom, ground-attack aircraft that first flew in 1945. Originally designed as a replacement for the World War II-era Douglas A-26 Invader, the A-36A served in the Korean War and was later used by various air forces around the world. The A-36A in this image, owned by The Fighter Collection, is a rare and well-preserved example of this iconic aircraft. Its distinctive paint scheme, featuring the red and white checkerboard pattern on the fuselage and wings, is reminiscent of the markings worn by the French Air Force during the 1950s. The aircraft's engine, a Pratt & Whitney R-2800-5 Double Wasp radial engine, is visible through the open cowling, adding to the machine's raw power and presence. The scene at Duxford Airport captures the essence of aviation history, with the A-36A standing as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and pilots who designed and flew these remarkable aircraft. The Fighter Collection, with its impressive collection of historic military aircraft, provides a unique opportunity for aviation enthusiasts to get up close and personal with these aeronautical marvels, allowing us to appreciate their beauty, power, and historical significance.
