The twin-engine American A-20 Havoc/Boston bombers saw action on many battlefields of World War II. They were particularly successful in the Pacific.
The A-20G version was equipped with large-caliber machine guns in the nose, while the rear fuselage featured a turret with two machine guns of the same caliber. This armament was used in conjunction with low-level bombing attacks. In addition to the American aircraft, RAAF Bostons were also stationed in the Pacific. Australian Bostons carried out the popular bombing raids. In Europe, the A-20G operated from bases in Italy and Great Britain as tactical bombers in large formations. They were usually led by A-20Ks with glass noses and Norden sights. After the invasion of Europe, the A-20G also operated from French bases. This is also true for one of the aircraft in our kits. The aircraft with invasion stripes was decorated with a drawing of a beauty inspired by the famous Vargas. Three more aircraft were in service in the Pacific. Two American planes had nose markings, one of them featuring a wild animal's mouth. The last aircraft flew with No. 22 Squadron of the RAAF.
