Ok so cool we are publishing although we are writing about Sunday December
20th we are writing on Saturday morning we don't want to confuse you but Listen to this out read on the Douglas A-20 Havoc------
Listen to this-The model 7B was maneuverable and fast but did not attract any U.S. orders!
The model did, however attract the attention of a French purchasing commission visiting the United States! The French discreetly
participated in the flight trial's so as not to attract critisium from American Isolationists
The Air corps, which controlled the aircraft's development but had been excluded from negotiations between the French and
the navy's bureau of aeronautics was directed by the White House on 19 January 1939 to release the DB-7 for assessment in
contradiction of it's own regulations. The secret was revealed when the model 7b crashed on 23 January 1939 while demonstrating
single engine performance! The French were still impressed and order 100 production aircraft with the order increased to 270
when the war began! 7478 A-20's were built but we do not have a price but the Soviets received 2908 of them! Pretty interesting
when you find out that 78 million people died in WW2! From what Tinker understand's today they have only found one of these
aircraft intact!
