Douglas A-20 Boston/Havoc by Ricard J Caruana

Douglas A-20 Boston/Havoc — Warpaint 32 monograph

Douglas A-20 Boston/Havoc is a monograph on the American twin-engine attack bomber. It came out in the British Warpaint 32 series, which devotes each volume to a single aircraft type and sums up its development, service and appearance in a single booklet in A4 format. The volume was written by Richard J. Caruana. The publication is in English. It is not a kit and not an accessory for building a model.

The real subject

This twin-engine machine served the US Army Air Forces as an attack bomber. The British took it over under two names: the bomber version carried the Boston designation, while the night fighter and intruder conversions were given the name Havoc. The Soviet Air Force received large numbers of the machines as part of the deliveries from the United States and committed them on the Eastern Front. The type was popular for its speed at low altitudes and its easy handling.

What the book contains

• period photographs of the type, both black-and-white and color
• color profiles and top views with camouflage schemes and markings
• drawings of the aircraft in 1:72 modeling scale
• an overview of the kits, decals and accessories available for the type

Who it is for

The book will serve builders of Allied equipment and anyone who needs a survey of the markings and camouflage schemes of this type. The combination of photographs, drawings and color schemes serves as a basis for building and painting a model.
