Its a infra red scanner for looking for trains at night , there's a web site on the squadron with other pics of it (its a one off AFAICR) & other sqn. a/c. I'll post it when I find it.

P.S. Oscar Ducks A-26 will be painted as one of this squadron's a/c

Have read of 'Old Able'
A plane with personality, Old Able was the most beloved B-26 on the flight line. She always brought her crews home.

I would like to revive this thread, would anybody like to share some color pictures of A-26s/B-26s in Korea with their crews?

Always thought the a-26 was such a amazing plane. 16-18 .50 cals pointed on one spot is vicious
