The Douglas A-20 Havoc, originally designed as a low-level attack bomber for hedge-hopping strikes and strafing runs, proved versatile enough to serve in many roles, from light bombing to night fighting.

The Soviets were the largest operators of the A-20, flying thousands of them in ground-attack missions on the Eastern Front.
