    The vast majority of people, even WWII combatants are unaware of the A20 and its capability. Most people looking at an A20 would swear they're looking at a B26. The A20 was the Warthog of WWII and Korea. It had one pilot / crew. It could carry bombs, rockets, and had eight .50 caliber guns in the nose. That's why it was named the HAVOC. On the deck, it can fly faster than a Learjet. In combat, it can sink a destroyer escort under a barrage of gunfire. I had the pleasure to work on one in El Paso that was purchased by Willie Farah from Howard Hughes. Willie took it down to the wheels and rebuilt every system on the plane. Willie flew an A20 in Korea and would fly it at low level in the desert while maneuvering. Willie could really make that plane "talk". The plane still flies today out of Texas (Houston I think). It's painted Black and has a Skull & Crossbones at the nose. Quite a feature to see if you ever get the chance.
