Hi,
The following picture via FAH 619 corresponds to a B-26 aircraft, cuban bound, possibly circa March 1960.
Thanks,

Think that they might be A-20s or A-26s.

Wasn't the original Douglas A-26 reclassified as the B-26 sometime after the Martin B-26s were retired and then reclassified as A-26 when it was used in Vietnam? So in 1960 was A or B correct?

They were B-26s from 1948 to 1965.

Isn't that the photo from the LIFE Magazine archives?

A-26

Hi, guys;
Just received a message from FAH 619 confirming that the picture comes from LIFE Digital Archives and indeed is an A-26. My apologies for the wrong and incomplete info previously posted :)
