| John D. Voss , CA | In 1948 the USAAF dropped the Attack designation from its aircraft identification system. Those few remaining "A" designated aircraft were either changed to "F" for fighter, "B" for bomber (e.g. the A-20 became the B-20, the A-26 became the B-26, the A-24 became the F-24, et.al). 03/28/2006 @ 08:12 [ref: 12952] |

The F-24 is actually an A-24 Duantless which was used by the army and navy as a dive bomber and not a fighter. The Navy designated the SBD Duantless. 04/30/2001 @ 23:50 [ref: 2188] |
