Мой отец - Казбек Александрович, был командиром этой машины в 19 лет.. в 1943г (приписал себе 2 года в аэроклубе) . Закончил войну в Праге, 77 боевых вылетов
Sortie filmed by Paramount War Correspondent Ian Duncan Struthers as Civilian Media Crew on board Boston “T” AL700 RAF No.18 Squadron on 6th of May, 1943. Up 1745hrs, Down 1845hrs. Target enemy movement on DJEDEIDA to Tunis Road. 1816hrs 100 heavy transport bombed from 7500 - 6000ft.
No. I have meant Germany-Russian front. MotherRussia had lots of Douglas A-20 delivered here by lend-lease but in USSR this type of planes was called B-3.
Nearly as large but considerably faster by 40-50 MPH. The Havoc even served as a might fighter. Douglas engineer Ed Heinemann did a great job. His follow on, the A-26 was even greater, serving in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. My personal favorite, having worked on them in the Navy was the A-4 and 2 seat TA-4 Skyhawk, AKA "Scooter."
Мой отец - Цаллагов Казбек Александрович тоже летал на А-20 Бостон , в качестве лётчика ( командира экипажа) . Первый боевой вылет ( после уч-ща в г.Энгельс) на Курско-Орловской Дуге .
swag ster Even after feathering the props. the pilot would have to crawl back and over to the wing then slide off. The bombardier is totally fucked. The only way for him to bail is a small hatch in the floor right behind his station. I still think this puts him in FRONT of the propellers. The airplane would have to be trimmed and the props feathered. This would take some time. Low level attacks would be white knuckle.
swag ster I am going to assume that you are someone who truly cares and tell you this story... I got the bail-out information from my friend's Father who flew A20's through the war. Mr. Hosier has been gone for 2 years now, but he was a wonderful gent in his later years. As an A-20 pilot on D Day he happened to be grounded for an ear problem. His crew of gunner and bomb-aimer were lost that day. It haunted him until the day he died in 2013.

Beautiful color footage.
Isn't the contribution of the A-20 to allied victory one of the least known facts of WW2?

12 or 24 Sqn SAAF Boston III's, Sicily late 1943, both Sqn's converted to B-26 Marauders in early 1944
never heard of this aircraft until today
yeah. My grandDad was a pilot of Douglas A20C on the East front of WW2 against Germany.

The thing almost the size of a B25, but with a single pilot. Wow!

@@guaporeturns9472 - Probably because it broke the World's Close Course Speed Record, taking it away from the F-86H fighter.

I dont know why this aircraft isnt better represnted by the model indutry!
We need a 1/32 kit, and a new 1/48 instead of the repackages of AMT kit. Totally agree 👮👍
How did one bail out of the A20? The cockpit sits in front of the engines.
It wasn't easy, but the official drill was to feather the props and go for it.
Rob Mackenzie fuck me, I don't think I could ever do that

tamaño pequeño ,2 enormes motores una combinacion brutal
A20 vs Me110?
ace video :-)
It would be a blast if they used it for CAS today in uncontested air. Better than Tucanos if modernized.
where's part 2?
Part two is back up
You mean the pacific front.
