A-26 Pretty Patti

The A-26 had a long service life from WWII into the early years of the Vietnam War. It was very fast and carried a large payload for its size. It had a really bad pilot blind spot to either side of the cockpit. The engines blocked the view, leading to a number of accidents in formation flying. These guys had a sense of humor amidst the horror. Check out the plane’s tally.
