DOUGLAS B-26K COUNTER INVADER

The following is a list of the On-Mark Engineering B-26K-OM Counter-Invader conversions for use in Vietnam. The YB-26K first flew on 28 January, 1963 and conversions continued into 1964. Service entry in Vietnam began in 1964 and ended in 1969. Those not left in country were returned to the US where they ended their days as Museum displays. The B-26K was redesignated as the A-26A-OM in 1966 due to Thailand banning bomber designated aircraft operating from it’s airfields.
