Futuristic and fast, the B-58 Hustler inspired a generation of pilots – Robert F Dorr explains why.

Spotlight Douglas Invader
This month, Spotlight shines on the A-26/B-26 Invader, a long-lived light bomber and attack aircraft that saw service in World War Two and the Cold War. A fast aircraft capable of carrying a variety of bombs and defensive armament, it was still operational with some air arms in the 1970s. We scrutinise this successful and versatile warrior.
