Dora-9 - Yes, I have also been told the A-20 was a delight to fly, a real "pilots aeroplane", with light controls, no nasty inbuilt handling problems, simple to learn the controls on, plenty of power, excellent one-engine-out handling, good range and speed, and plenty of armament.
The only downsides on the A-20 appear to be the flaps were slow in operation and not as effective as they should have been.
Coupled with a high takeoff speed of 100mph, this made grass-airstrip operations risky, and the A-20 needed good-length sealed runways to reduce the crash risk.
The production story of the A-20 is a classic of constantly-changing specifications, and models built for specific countries that had major design changes, that made them incompatible with British and American designs.
The ones the RAAF got, were only acquired by accident. They were originally ordered by the Netherlands and were on their way to the Dutch East Indies.
However, the Japs were moving so fast, the ships carrying the A-20's couldn't unload in Dutch held territory, as it had all been captured by the Japs - so the Dutch A-20's were unloaded in Australia.
Despite the RAAF being delighted with the windfall, their delight was tempered when they found all the cockpit instructions labelled in Dutch, along with all the maintenance and operation manuals written in Dutch as well!
Of the 270 A-20's ordered by the French before France fell, 200 were diverted to Britain. The British then found the French A-20's had metric instruments, radios that weren't compatible with British radios, and throttles that operated in reverse to the British and American design!
It appears there were two main types of A-20 - the attack version which had a solid nose - and the bomber version which had a glazed nose with a compartment for a bombardier.
The A-20 in the above photo appears to be the solid nose, attack version.
There's a good "write-up" on the A-20 models and history, in the link below.

Addendum - I've since found that thirteen A-20's were lost in the Japs Morotai attack in November 1944. This must have been quite a demoralising blow to the RAAF blokes.
