Historic A-26 unveiled at NEAM.

Following a nine-year restoration, combat-veteran Douglas A-26C Invader 43-22499 Reida Rae was unveiled on October 6 at the New England Air Museum, Windsor Locks, Connecticut, USA. 

The machine flew operations with the 416th Bombardment Group, 9th Air Force in Europe from December 1944 to August 1945, and will now form part of an official memorial to the 416th at the museum.
