History of the original aircraft

The Douglas Boston Mk. III, in the Intruder version, was a versatile bomber and attack aircraft used mainly by the Royal Air Force (United Kingdom) during World War II. The British equivalent of the American A-20 Havoc series, the Bostons operated successfully on the Western Front and over the Atlantic from 1942 to 1945. The Intruder version was specially adapted for night raids and attacks on enemy airfields, often operating in difficult weather conditions and low visibility. These machines became famous for their precise attacks and combat endurance.
