EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Douglas B-26C Invader, registration N202R and serial number 28880 (ex-44-35601), affectionately known as "Miss Murphy," parked at Midland Airport during the autumn of 1992. The B-26 Invader, a versatile twin-engine medium bomber, was initially produced by the Douglas Aircraft Company for the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. This particular aircraft, with its distinctive checkerboard pattern and "Miss Murphy" insignia, had a rich history that extended beyond the battlefields. By the time this image was taken, the B-26 had been retired from military service and had found a new life in the civilian aviation world. The Invader's powerful engines and robust design made it an ideal choice for various roles, including aerial photography, firefighting, and even skywriting. The aircraft's transformation from a military asset to a civilian workhorse is a testament to its enduring value and the ingenuity of those who kept it flying. The serene setting of Midland Airport, with its lush greenery and clear blue skies, provides a striking contrast to the Invader's military past. The calm atmosphere allows us to appreciate the aircraft's sleek lines and intricate details, from the carefully painted insignia to the meticulously maintained engines. This photograph is not only a tribute to the Douglas B-26C Invader and its storied history but also a celebration of the passion and dedication of the aviation enthusiasts who keep these historic aircraft alive for future generations to enjoy.
