Douglas A-20 Lived Up to its Havoc Name During World War II
Even though it was the most-produced attack bomber produced during the war, the A-20 was overshadowed by the likes of the B-17 and B-24.
During the Second World War, the Douglas Aircraft Company produced several important aircraft, and today the SBD Dauntless dive bomber and C-47 Skytrain are largely remembered for the role each played in the war effort. Then there was the A-20 Havoc, a bomber that was used in numerous fronts around the globe including Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Pacific.
Overshadowed by the likes of the B-17 and B-24, the A-20 has been overlooked for its contributions—even though it was the most-produced attack bomber produced during the war. A total of 7,477 DB-7/A-20s were built. The mid-wing, twin-engine medium bomber was noted for its survivability, which helped ensure that it could take significant damage and still get its crew home. At the same time, it lived up to its “Havoc” name delivering a serious punch to the enemy. It was designed as a light bomber, but during the war operated more like a fighter, while it was also used in a night intruder and reconnaissance role.
