A 20 Havoc, Solid Nose History:
The A-20 Havoc was originally built for the French and British as
a night fighter before America entered the war. In addition, the
USSR accepted over 3,000 of these aircraft through the Lend-Lease
program. Havocs were used in Europe and the Pacific.
The A-20 Havoc is probably one of the most versatile aircraft
ever made in history. The A-20 had several roles and was originally
designed with a standard bomber glass nose, however the later
versions of A-20 Havoc had solid nose having multiple machine guns.
The A-20 Havoc served various Allied air forces, predominantly, the
air forces of the Soviet Union, United Kingdom, United States,
Australia, South Africa France, Netherlands and Brazil. The USAF was
the one who assigned the popular name of the aircraft "A-20 Havoc"
which was dopted from the RAF classification.
There are two versions of A-20 Havoc, both ordered by the Air
Corps. One was to be powered by turbo supercharged Wright R-2600-7
radials and the other was to be a high altitude light bomber with
performance adequate to make it fundamentally resistant to
interception. Some of the A-20 Havocs were equipped with radar
equipment and re-designated as P-70s. The P-70 was used as a night
fighter but were replaced by the P-61 Black widow in 1944.
