CFS Douglas A-26D Invader Chilean Air Force - Fuerza Aerea de Chile The Chilean Air force operated the Douglas A-26 between the years 1954 to 1978, mainly in bomber duties, close support, reconnaissance and liaison, ending his days as targets tug. This plane replaced the B-25 Mitchell bomber, in service since 1946 with the Grupo 8. In Chile, the A-26 was known as B-26 "Black Widow", due to their look like with the Northrop P-61, the true owner name. I have included two chilean A-26D with different textures: -Douglas A-26D FACH # 812, all black, 1962. -Douglas A-26D FACH # 832, with desert camouflage, 1973. The A-26D # 812, on November 16, 1962 was protagonist of a heroic fact in the one which the pilot Lt. Luis Campos, remained unconscious by the collapse of the cockpit roof. The gunner, Sgt. Dionisio Fuentes, (mechanic-airman, without flight training) took the controls achieving to stabilize the plane, decided to land through radio-instructions from the control tower. The pilot was recovered partially, and with the help of the sergeant, achieved to land the plane. For this action, the sergeant Fuentes was awarded with the FACH Value Medal and the Flight Safety Premium that grants the USAF to allies air forces. The A-26D # 832 was modified from model C (glass nose) to model D (solid nose) during the program "Gun Nose". The plan of desert camouflage is of beginnings of the decade of the '70 and it is in accordance to the border-tensions with Peru, frequent in that years. FS98 original model creator: Chris Lampard.
