IMAGE"Speedy A-20 Havoc light bombers of the US 9th AF are pictured leaving the coast of France for England after an attack recently on enemy targets in the low countries. These extremely fast attack bombers, which have been operating from England for several weeks, carry a powerful bomb load and are good at self defense. They can be used agaianst armored cars or larger targets such as factories and harbors and can operate anywhere from right in front of Allied troops to hundreds of miles forward. They are used extensively by the British and Russians and the USAAF have used them for anti-submarine patrol in the North Atlantic, skip bombing in the Pacific and as light and attack bombers, with Marauder medium bombers, they will compose the 9th AF striking fleet which will give direct support to Allied ground forces during the coming invasion of Europe." 416th BG 671st BS 9AF.
