EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Douglas A-26B Invader with the distinctive registration number N240P, affectionately named "Spirit of Waco." The Invader, a versatile twin-engine attack bomber and advanced trainer, was manufactured by Douglas Aircraft Company during World War II. This particular aircraft, with the manufacturing serial number 7140 and former military serial number 41-39427, was restored and preserved for aviation enthusiasts to enjoy in the mid-1990s. The Invader's sleek design and powerful engines make for an impressive sight as it gracefully takes to the sky. Originally developed for the United States Army Air Forces, the A-26 Invader saw combat in both Europe and the Pacific during World War II. Post-war, it was used by various air forces around the world for a range of roles, including reconnaissance and counter-insurgency missions. The preservation and restoration of aircraft like the Douglas A-26B Invader N240P are essential for honoring aviation history and inspiring future generations. These aircraft serve as living testaments to the ingenuity and innovation of aviation engineers and the courage of the men and women who flew them. This photograph captures a moment in time when the Spirit of Waco, with its rich history and iconic design, continues to soar high in the skies, a reminder of the enduring allure of flight.
