The new EAW high resolution Douglas A-20J - non-flyable bomber version for the B26 slot.

Bill was an A-20J from the 644th Bomb Squadron, 410th Bomb Group, 9th Air Force USAAF, named after the young son of the pilot. The 410th BG flew medium altitude bombing missions first from England and later from captured airfields in France after the invasion. Most missions after the invasion were tactical to support Allied armies advancing into occupied France. She was shot down by flak and made a forced landing in liberated France in 1944. It is thought that the gunner was either killed or seriously wounded in the incident.

The A-20J was the next to the last design update for the A-20 series, becoming available for combat deployment at the last of the year 1943. They were often used as lead ships in Europe and the Mediterranean theaters at the head of gun nosed A-20G models because they could carry a bombardier, whereas the A-20G's could not. The A-20G's would drop their bombs when the lead ship dropped theirs. The very last version was the A-20K, which was identical except for slightly more powerful engines. Both of these series were glass nosed bomber versions only. No solid gun noses were used on these models.
