Douglas DB-7 C3 No.72, 4eme Escadrille, Groupe de Bombardement II/32, Agadir, Morocco, November 1942. This aircraft was damaged on 9th November 1942 following the Allied landings in Vichy French North Africa. Contrary to popular myth, most French units actively resisted the British and Americans and only stopped fighting once the Germans had ill-advisedly occupied the Free Zone of France. This was played down at the time, owing to the intention to bring the French back into the Allied fold and unite them with Free French Forces. The task was not an easy or frightfully successful one...

It is my firm belief that Ed would have been enthusiastic to see this version released. I am therefore uploading it in a spirit of friendship and respect for his memory, as a good man, a gifted CFS modder, and a highly valued and respected member of our community.
This is not an exact replica of the early DB-7A aircraft; the visual model represents an A-20C Boston III and has several visible differences with the real DB-7A. It is however the following model, and is, we believe, more than credible enough.
