Italeri A-20B Boston III

The twin-engine Douglas A-20 was developed by the American aviation company to fulfil two main roles. Its fuselage, featuring the characteristic mid-high mounted cantilever wing, could be configured both as a night fighter and an attack aircraft with a powerful weapon system in the forward fuselage, as well as a light bomber. The light bomber version achieved significant success not only with the U.S.A.F. but also with the British RAF, which referred to the Douglas aircraft as the "Boston." The nose of the Boston was glazed to accommodate the bomb aimer, while retaining the innovative nose wheel landing gear of the time. It could carry up to 1,800 kg of offensive payload and was produced in large numbers, being used by the RAF, numerous Commonwealth air forces, and some units of the Soviet Air Forces.
