Delivered to the USAAF in August 1945 as a standard A-26B, this Invader served at various air bases including Turner AFB, GA, before arriving for conversion to a TA-26B at Robins in November 1946. It served with a number of units until 1951 when assigned to support the Air National Guard headquarters as a VB-26B VIP transport at Andrews AFB, MD. When the aircraft was retired in 1972, it was the last Invader in USAF service. It was transferred to the museum in May 2017 from the Smithsonian where it had been in storage This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
