Ratch Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 The Douglas A-26 C Invader arrived at Harrington on 14th March 1945 and assigned to No 801 (Provisional) Bomb Group, 856th Bomb Squadron (formerly 36th Sqn). A-26C-25-DT serial no. 43-22626 'Queen of Spades’ was designed for level bombing. The C variant had a glazed nose whereas the Bs nose was solid and used for ground strafing and rocket attacks. The C was utilised as a delivery ship to place agents behind enemy lines as part of the 492nd Carpetbagger Group. They were stripped of everything but the barest essentials for low level flying at speed. These operations were popularly known as Red Stocking missions, though they were documented as Joan Eleanor Project or JE Project.
