US Warbirds and military aircraft

Superb postcards of both restored and contemporary military aircraft make great subject matter for collectors. Here I have assembled a selection of cards received from thoughtful pals over the years. Many of the US military aircreft, especially those from WWII, have earned iconic status. Enjoy.

Douglas 8A fighter

The Douglas 8A was a single-engine ground-attack and light bomber aircraft developed in the 1930s by the Douglas Aircraft Company. It was derived from the earlier Douglas Northrop A-17, which was used primarily as a light bomber. The 8A was essentially an export version of the A-17, and it was marketed to various foreign nations as a fighter-bomber.
