Douglas A-20 Havoc Survivors




So quickly were the A-20 phased out of service and scrapped that, by the early 1960s, the aircraft was on the verge of extinction with only six complete airframes known in existence. Currently, due to numerous expeditions into the jungles of New Guinea as well as Russian crash sites are restorable airframes being discovered and the number of aircraft are growing.

Altogether 18 A-20s have survived, however, as of January 2007, only one airframe is currently in flying condition with several being retored to flight status. This number includes seven airframes from various wrecks and in storage which could result in future restorations.
