Foreign Invaders: The Douglas Invader in Foreign Military and U.S. Clandestine Service by Dan Hagedorn and Leif Hellstrom A good example of a meticulously researched volume that is both readable and a reference source. The Douglas A-26 Invader is an unsung type, arriving late in World War II but serving later in both the Korea and Vietnam conflicts. Becoming the very definition of hot attack bomber, the Invader enjoyed nearly forty years of combat with military forces around the world. Foreign Invaders looks past the regular USAAF use of the type and delves into the A-26 in service in the smaller air forces of Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, as well as covert use by the USAF and CIA in Southeast Asia.
