This section is not just information relating to the A-26 Invader, but a compilation of all things I find important about aviation, including people, places and events.
The large majority of data supplied within the various features, are from donations sent in by people who have visited this site and feel they have an interesting and valid contribution to make.
To all those people, who have not only "e mailed" me data to create "their" feature, but to enthusiasts who have physically sent CD's and documents by post and courier at great expense, from as far away as the USA and Australia, I thank you all for making this site what it is today. 
Also, to all those photographers who have given me use of their photographs and I have omitted to mention, thank you for the use of your material.
