| John D. Voss , CA | As a replacement candidate for the weary Martin JM Marauders the USN took delivery of two factory fresh A-26 Invaders. An A-26C-DT and an A-26B-DL were allocated the designation of XJD-1 and assigned to VU-4 @ NAS Norfolk, VA for evaluation as a target tug. The XJD was soon selected as a JM replacement as it gave a top speed improvement of at least 50 mph as well as immediate availabilty of a batch of brand new aircraft(a cancelled RAF order of 138 A/C). 03/27/2006 @ 07:47 [ref: 12936] |
