This package contains models of the USAF DB-26 drone carriers and the US Navy’s JD-1. They are made from the FSX-native A/B-26 models compiled by Dave Quincey, Jens-Ole Kjolberg, Gordon Madison and others from the original FS9 models by an SOH team led by Milton Shupe.
The Invader drone carriers were re-engineered from existing airframes during the late 1940s/early 1950s and were tasked with taking aloft the Teledyne-Ryan Q-2A drones aimed at providing the USAF and US Navy with realistic fast jet targets for missile testing. They were also used in the development of drones and missile systems for both services at Holloman AFB NM and China Lake CA.
