During the Korean War the 3rd BG and the 17th BG were formed. The 17th BG numbered its squadrons 34th, 37th and 95th BS. In the beginning the 3rd and 17th BG flew both day and night missions but as the war progressed they only flew night missions. By the end of the Korean War the two BG’s had 55,000 interdiction sorties and credited with the destruction of 38,500 enemy vehicles, 3,700 railway cars, 406 locomotives and seven aircraft. A total of 226 B-26’s were lost from all squadrons of which only 56 were accredited to enemy action.

This is taken from an email I received concerning this model:

I purchased this Hobby Master Invader model and it is fantastic, very detailed. This exact aircraft was with the squadron that I was assigned to 37th Bomb Sq ( L ) N/I and the nose art is great. I flew in this specific aircraft in Korea as a gunner. The model is great. Antonio Fucci
