This section is not just information relating to the A-26 Invader, but a compilation of all things I find important about aviation, including people, places and events, although I have tried not to stray from the topic of vintage and veteran aviation.
I have split these subjects into sections for ease of navigation.
The large majority of data supplied within the various features, are from contributions, sent in by people who have visited this site and feel they have an interesting and valid input to make, be it regarding the A-26 Invader or some other aspect of aviation.
 
"To all those people, who have not only "e mailed" me data to create "their" feature, but to enthusiasts who have physically sent CD's and documents by post and courier at great expense, from as far away as the USA, Thailand and Australia, I thank you all for making this site what it is today". 
 
I have tried my best to apply accreditation to photographers who have donated photographs for this site, however if I have failed to credit any one's property on this site then please contact me on a26invader@btinternet.com and I will apply credit immediately.
 
Thank you
