USAF Aircraft Index
A comprehensive, alphabetical guide to the primary aircraft that defined the USAF in World War II.
A-20 "Havoc/Boston", Douglas Bomber
Medium bomber and heavy attack aircraft, twin-engine all-metal monoplane with retractable landing gear with a nose strut.
A-24 / SBD "Dauntless", Douglas Bomber
The Blenheim wasn't the only victim of the overconfidence of British aviation officials. By the mid-1930s, air combat technology and tactics had barely diverged from those used during World War I.
F2A "Buffalo", Brewster Fighter
The first monoplane fighter to enter service with the US Navy, the Brewster F2A Buffalo, was born from a 1936 requirement for a new generation of carrier-based fighters.
