A-20 Havoc in Britain

"Front Row Seat" for the invasion..Here, in the plexi-glass nose of an A-20 Havoc light bomber - one of two Havoc models now operating from 9th AF bases in Britain-the bombardier sets his sights on the Nazis. Come D-Day, Havoc bombardiers will fly in support of the Allied invasion spearhead, clear the way for the push into Hitler's Europe. Those two forward firing.50 calibre machine guns will ward off opposition, add sting to the Havocs' attack, and a capacity bomb load of 2,000 pounds will help deliver knockout blows against Hitler's defenses.
