skin for Milton Shupe's Douglas A-26 Invader.
This B-26C of the 11th Air Force (later Alaska Air Command) was photographed at Ladd Air Force Base in the late 1940s. The absence of unit markings and the lack of any light bomber units based in Alaska in the late 1940s implies that it must have been a hack rather than a mission aircraft. It was photographed on a ramp with some Northrop F-61 Black Widows of the 449th Fighter Squadron (All Weather) and may have belonged to that unit.
