In 1941 Douglas Aircraft Company began work on their twin-engine medium-bomber A-26
Invader. By the end of production there were 2,452 aircraft produced for all variants. The A-
26/B-26 was the only U.S. bomber to take part in three wars, WWII, Korea and Vietnam. The
confusion with the use of the designation B-26 began when the Martin B-26 Marauder was
retired and in 1948 the USAF dropped the “A” (Attack) designator so the Douglas A-26
Invader became the B-26 Invader. The A-26 made its first European appearance in late 1944.

The 13th Bomb Squadron “The Devil’s Own Grim Reapers” insignia dates back to the 13th
Aero Squadron of WWI. The insignia was named “Oscar, the Devel's Own Grim Reaper” yes
Devel. The 3rd Bombardment Wing was stationed in Japan after WWII and received the A-
26B models in 1945. When the Korean War began the 13th BS was one of the first units to
see action and recorded the first U.S. air unit casualties. The 3rd BW conducted the last
bombing mission just minutes before a truce began.
