Douglas DB7


"This is the Plane used ingame by the Squad as a Level Bomber"

The Douglas DB-7 was a family of attack, light bomber and night fighter aircraft of World War II, serving primarily with Soviet, US and British air forces. The DB-7 was also used by Australian, South African, French and Dutch services during the War, and Brazil afterwards. The aircraft was known as the "Boston" among Commonwealth air forces, while the night fighter variants were known as the "Havoc". The USAAF assigned the DB-7 the designation "A-20" and gave it the popular name "Havoc," adopted from the RAF moniker.
