HD Thanks for the correction. You beat me to it. It is a fairly common mix up. The Douglas Invader was designated the A-26 as well as the B-26. The type rating on a Canadian license is B-26. I flew a B-26 for several years and I was constantly reminding my father that it was a Douglas Invader, not the Martin Marauder. The B-26's have been retired in Canada since 2004. And yes, firebomber is a perfectly acceptable term for these airplanes.
