Re-printed! Douglas A-26 Invader (In Action Series) A-26/B-26 Invader In Action. Book by David Doyle. Squadron Signal Books. The Douglas A-26 Invader served the United States with distinction in various combat roles during World War II, Korea and Vietnam. Originally created as an attack aircraft, with the designation A-26, the Invader was designed to replace the A-20 Havoc, North-American B-25 Mitchell and the Martin B-26 Marauder for the U.S. Army Air Forces. However, production delays prevented the aircraft from reaching the field until June 1944. With as many as 14 forward-firing .50 caliber machine guns as well as bombs and rockets, the Invader was well-suited for ground strikes when the Korean War broke out in 1951. The Invader flew into combat and carried the markings of the U.S. Air Force as the redesignated B-26. Later, the French used the Invader during their war in Vietnam. Shortly after the United States entered the conflict, Invaders returned to the sky over Vietnam in the hands of American as well as South Vietnamese crews. In order to base the aircraft type in Thailand, which prohibited the USAF bombers, the Invader was once more classified as an attack aircraft, and the A-26 designation returned. Illustrated with more than 175 photos, 35 of which are in vintage color, as well as two color profile illustrations and 10 line drawings. 80 pages.

The Michael Storrings A Walk in the Park Magnetic Bookmark Set features 3 seasonal parkscapes.

This book captures the amazing history of all of the team’s Falcon and Mustang Supercars, from its first foray into V8 Supercars racing in 2003 under the banner of Ford Performance Racing and right through its Prodrive Racing Australia era into today’s Tickford Racing.

Released in 2023 - the team's 20th anniversary season - the 400-page hardcover collectors book follows on from the sold-out Dick Johnson Racing and Perkins Engineering car history books, making this sure to be popular with Supercars and Ford racing enthusiasts.

Featuring the life story of every car raced by the team in the V8 Supercars/ Supercars Championship as well as its forays into the Development/ Super2 Series, it tells the story of the ‘blue’ team through the on and off-track histories of its race cars.

This hardcover collector’s book will be produced in a limited edition with each copy individually numbered, making it a truly special collectable item.

It will include the team’s Bathurst 1000 and championship-winning Falcons as well as the Ford Falcons and Mustangs raced by stars of the sport for the team including 2015 Supercars Champion Mark Winterbottom, Craig Lowndes, Glenn Seton, Jason Bright, Cam Waters, Will Davison, Steve Richards, Chaz Mostert and so many more.

V8 Sleuth's Aaron Noonan, Will Dale and Stefan Bartholomaeus are the authors of this book, which includes insight from a range of team figures including drivers, engineers and management.

This publication is a must-have for the collection of any Tickford Racing, Ford, Supercars, Bathurst, motorsport, motoring or automotive enthusiast.
