After WWII, massive amounts of surplus US Military aircraft were exported to allies all around the world. The B-26 Invader is one of those planes that found a new lease on life after US Military use. Largely exported to countries in Latin America including Colombia, Peru, Chile, Brazil, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Honduras, the B-26 Invader saw extensive use by the French in Indochina and Algeria and by Portugal in Africa. Other nations reciving the bomber are Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, South Vietnam, Turkey, and other countries. There are also sections about the B-26 in use in covert missions by the CIA in Africa, Cuba and Southeast Asia. The book is divided by chapter according to country or CIA operation.
