Great photos! How would I go about finding a photo of a specific A-20(G)? Flown by Ward Neff called the Cornhusker Nikki?

Thanks!

Here's some very interesting and quite unique combat photos of A-20's and B-25's in action. Most of the photos state "Clark Field Philippines 14 January 1945" but I'm thinking there's some PNG photos mixed In here as well. If you look closely at a few of these photos you'll see some amazing aircraft formations at low level. Intense stuff indeed. Quite a different world back then wasn't it? Bless them all.

this would seem to belong in front of that sequence (stamped 53686, A-53686, B-53686, C-53686) that has one going down at " Kakas, Dutch New Guinea (sic) ... Sep 1944 "

Yah! I noticed that one as well. Although I'm always a bit hesitant to post photos showing an obvious tragic loss, I feel it's somewhat appropriate here in this thread if no other than to remember their sacrifice.

Not enough recognition of the A-20 in combat IMHO ... of course that goes for just about every aircraft that served in combat during WW2, but that's just me

3rd pic from bottom of last post is Hollandia. Taken by the tail camera of "Powerful Katrina" 13th Sq CO. Dick Walker's A-20.

That's a pretty amazing shot - on the bottom right you can see several of the enemy scampering away from (or blown off) the truck!
Where were the aft cameras mounted in these A-20s? Anyone have a photo of the camera port?
