Douglas P.
Douglas P. (born Douglas Pearce, 27 April 1956), is an English folk musician, record label owner, photographer and actor who records under the name Death in June. He was born in Sheerwater in Woking, Surrey, and resides in Australia.
Early life
Pearce was born on 27 April 1956, and grew up in Sheerwater, a suburb of London which he described as a "white, working-class ghetto", to a father who worked as a courier for the military, and had served in World War II. Both of his parents were English, though his mother claimed Scots-Irish ancestry. His father died of a heart attack at age 56, when Pearce was 14. Pearce grew up in what he describes as "a very militaristic environment, surrounded by war", and says that he "had a natural attraction to war". At the age of 18 Pearce left home and hitchhiked around Europe and "came home a changed man".
As a child, Pearce was exorcised by his parents for alleged demonic possession, and after his father died, his mother and he would "muck around with a Ouija board". Pearce still firmly believes in the paranormal and occult, and claims to have had contact with various entities.

Douglas XP-48
The Douglas XP-48 was a small, lightweight fighter aircraft, designed by Douglas Aircraft in 1939 for evaluation by the U.S. Army Air Corps. Intended to be powered by a small inline piston engine, the contract was cancelled before a prototype could be constructed, due to the Army's concerns about the projected performance of the aircraft.
Inspiration
In the years before the outbreak of World War II, a number of countries became intrigued by the idea of developing a very light fighter aircraft, with these proposals often being derived from the design of racing aircraft. Following the consideration of a modified French Caudron racer by the U.S. Army Air Corps, a proposition that was considered uneconomical, Douglas Aircraft made an unsolicited proposal to the Army Air Corps of their Model 312 design in 1939.
Design and cancellation
Intended to be powered by a Ranger XV-770 inverted V-12 engine equipped with a supercharger, Douglas' proposal was considered worth pursuing by the Army Air Corps, and on 5 August 1939 a single prototype was ordered. The Model 312 was given the Army designation XP-48, the 48th aircraft type in the Pursuit category.

Douglas A-20 Havoc
The Douglas A-20 Havoc (company designation DB-7) was an American attack, light bomber, intruder aircraft of World War II. It served with several Allied air forces, principally the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), the Soviet Air Forces (VVS), Soviet Naval Aviation (AVMF) and the Royal Air Force (RAF) of the United Kingdom. Soviet units received more than one in three (2,908 aircraft) of the DB-7s ultimately built. It was also used by the air forces of Australia, South Africa, France, and the Netherlands during the war, and by Brazil afterwards.
In British Commonwealth air forces, bomber/attack variants of the DB-7 were usually known by the service name Boston, while night fighter and intruder variants were usually known as Havoc. An exception to this was the Royal Australian Air Force, which referred to all variants of the DB-7 by the name Boston. The USAAF referred to night fighter variants as P-70.
Design and development
In March 1937, a design team headed by Donald Douglas, Jack Northrop and Ed Heinemann produced a proposal for a light bomber powered by a pair of 450 hp (336 kW) Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior radial engines mounted on a Shoulder wing. It was estimated that it could carry a 1,000 lb (454 kg) bomb load at 250 mph (400 km/h). Reports of aircraft performance from the Spanish Civil War indicated that this design would be seriously underpowered, and it was subsequently cancelled.

Douglas A-20 Havoc - The Soviet Union's Favorite American Bomber
The Douglas A-20 was one of the most popular and effective US light bombers of World War 2. It would also, strangely enough, be one of the Soviets' favorites. The A-20 was produced by the renowned Douglas Aircraft Company, which also created the SBD Dauntless dive bomber. The plane was reliable, considered easy to use, with solid armor and real firepower. Equipped initially with multiple .50 caliber guns, it could carry up to 2 tons of bombs. It honored Douglas's legacy of creating aircraft that could take a beating. That is why it became loved by airmen across the globe. More than 7,000 A-20s were produced during the war. It was operated by American, Australian, Brazilian, British, Canadian, Dutch, French, South African, and even Soviet crews. The A-20 saw combat on all the fronts. F...

Douglas A 20G Havoc
Flown by the Allies in the Pacific, the Middle East, North Africa, Europe and Russia, the versatile A-20 went through many variants. The A-20G, which reached combat in 1943, was produced in larger numbers than any other model. By the time production ended in September 1944, American factories had built 2,850 "solid nose" A-20G models. Attacking with forward-firing .50-cal. machine guns and bombs, the A-20G lived up to its name by creating havoc and destruction on low-level strafing attacks, especially against Japanese shipping and airfields across the Southwest Pacific. In 1961 the Bankers Life and Casualty Co. of Chicago, Ill., donated this A-20G to the museum. It is painted to represent "Little Joe" of the 5th Air Force, 312th Bomb Group, 389th Bomb Squadron, with 150 missions. Origin...

Douglas A-20 Havoc: Airailimages WW2 Warplane Review
Take a look at the classic World War II A-20 Havoc attack bomber, a fast single-pilot warplane designed in the late 1930s and flown to the end of World War II. Topping out well above 300 miles per hour, the A-20 owes its design to the thoughtful planning of famed Douglas Aircraft designer Ed Heinemann. A-20s fought a ground-skimming war in North Africa and the Pacific, and reached medium altitudes for the push across western Europe in 1944. As this is written, only one flyable A-20 remains, but other static displays and the potential for more flying restorations exists.

Douglas A-20 Havoc - Lone Survivor
Of the more than 7,000 Douglas A-20 Havocs built for U.S. and Allied forces during World War II, just a handful survive, and, as far as we know, only one flies — and it came to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2017. The twin-engine light bomber and attack aircraft is part of Rod Lewis’ Lewis Air Legends collection based in San Antonio, Texas. Lewis’ Havoc was built in 1943 as an A-20G, is powered by two 1,700-hp Wright R-2600s, armed with seven machine guns, and could carry a bomb load of 4,000 pounds. Restorer Carl Scholl, EAA 184061 of Aero Trader and pilot Stewart Dawson, EAA 187007, share their insights about this remarkable airplane.

How to Fly the Douglas A-20 Havoc (1943)
Watch the film used to train pilots to fly the A-20. The A-20 was flown as "the Boston" by the Brits on daring hedge hopping '"ramrod' raids over the Continent. It was called the "Havoc" by the US Army Air Force who also flew it on the deck in Europe and skimming the jungles of SE Asia. Thisis one of the most under appreciated aircraft of World War II. Many A-20 crews later transitioned to the A-26 Invader.

A-20 Havoc/Boston in Colour - Part 1
"RCAF/RAF Aircraft at War" DVDs, or stock footage clips available at www.aviationvideos.com. The Douglas DB-7/A-20 Havoc was the most-produced attack bomber during World War II. A total of 7,477 DB-7/A-20s were built. The Havoc was a mid-wing, twin-engine, three-place medium bomber that earned a reputation for getting its crews home, even when both crew and aircraft suffered crippling blows. It was called the "Boston" when it was built for England's Royal Air Force. It entered production when, despite official neutrality in 1938, there was little doubt in the United States that the country should support its allies, Britain and France. The French saw the secret bomber project at the Douglas Santa Monica, Calif., facility and ordered the first 107 DB-7s. The French then ordered another 2...

The Douglas A-20 - DB-7 Havoc was a family of attack, light bomber and night fighter aircraft of World War II, serving several Allied air forces, principally those of the Soviet Union, United Kingdom, and United States.

Of the more than 7,000 Douglas A-20 Havocs built for U.S. and Allied forces during World War II, just a handful survive, and, as far as we know, only one flies — and it came to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2017. The twin-engine light bomber and attack aircraft is part of Rod Lewis’ Lewis Air Legends collection based in San Antonio, Texas.
Lewis’ Havoc was built in 1943 as an A-20G, is powered by two 1,700-hp Wright R-2600s, armed with seven machine guns, and could carry a bomb load of 4,000 pounds. Restorer Carl Scholl, EAA 184061 of Aero Trader and pilot Stewart Dawson, EAA 187007, share their insights about this remarkable airplane.

Watch the film used to train pilots to fly the A-20. The A-20 was flown as "the Boston" by the Brits on daring hedge hopping '"ramrod' raids over the Continent. It was called the "Havoc" by the US Army Air Force who also flew it on the deck in Europe and skimming the jungles of SE Asia. Thisis one of the most under appreciated aircraft of World War II. Many A-20 crews later transitioned to the A-26 Invader.

"RCAF/RAF Aircraft at War" DVDs, or stock footage clips available at www.aviationvideos.com.
The Douglas DB-7/A-20 Havoc was the most-produced attack bomber during World War II. A total of 7,477 DB-7/A-20s were built. The Havoc was a mid-wing, twin-engine, three-place medium bomber that earned a reputation for getting its crews home, even when both crew and aircraft suffered crippling blows. It was called the "Boston" when it was built for England's Royal Air Force.
It entered production when, despite official neutrality in 1938, there was little doubt in the United States that the country should support its allies, Britain and France. The French saw the secret bomber project at the Douglas Santa Monica, Calif., facility and ordered the first 107 DB-7s. The French then ordered another 270 DB-7s. Before the fall of France in June 1940, half had been accepted, but many were still en route.
The United Kingdom took over 162 of the DB-7s intended for France as well as Belgium, which also had fallen. By the time the United States entered World War II at the end of 1941, British Havocs and Bostons had already performed well for most of the year against German targets in North Africa and Southern Europe. The U.S. Army Air Corps designated the plane the A-20 Havoc, and it served in every theater of the war.

The Douglas A-20 was one of the most popular and effective US light bombers of World War 2. It would also, strangely enough, be one of the Soviets' favorites.
The A-20 was produced by the renowned Douglas Aircraft Company, which also created the SBD Dauntless dive bomber.
The plane was reliable, considered easy to use, with solid armor and real firepower. Equipped initially with multiple .50 caliber guns, it could carry up to 2 tons of bombs.
It honored Douglas's legacy of creating aircraft that could take a beating. That is why it became loved by airmen across the globe.
More than 7,000 A-20s were produced during the war. It was operated by American, Australian, Brazilian, British, Canadian, Dutch, French, South African, and even Soviet crews.
The A-20 saw combat on all the fronts. From the Pacific's tropical jungles to Africa's deserts and the frozen Russian lands, it was never left behind during 1940-1945.
3000 of them made it to the Soviet Motherland. They would be heavily modified by Soviet engineers to make them more accurate, more effective, and more deadly. It would help change the tide of the war on the Eastern Front.
Douglas Aircraft Company demonstrated it designed its aircraft to be not just innovative, but game-changers. And the Douglas A-20, nicknamed The Havoc, proved just that…

Flown by the Allies in the Pacific, the Middle East, North Africa, Europe and Russia, the versatile A-20 went through many variants. The A-20G, which reached combat in 1943, was produced in larger numbers than any other model. By the time production ended in September 1944, American factories had built 2,850 "solid nose" A-20G models. Attacking with forward-firing .50-cal. machine guns and bombs, the A-20G lived up to its name by creating havoc and destruction on low-level strafing attacks, especially against Japanese shipping and airfields across the Southwest Pacific.
In 1961 the Bankers Life and Casualty Co. of Chicago, Ill., donated this A-20G to the museum. It is painted to represent "Little Joe" of the 5th Air Force, 312th Bomb Group, 389th Bomb Squadron, with 150 missions.
Originally trained to fly P-40s, the men of the 312th transitioned to the A-20G in the field. Calling themselves the "Roarin' 20s," the men of the 312th fought their way across the Southwest Pacific from New Guinea to the Philippines.
TECHNICAL NOTES:
Armament: Eight .50-cal. machine guns; 4,000 lbs. of bombs
Engines: Two Wright R-2600s of 1,600 hp each

Take a look at the classic World War II A-20 Havoc attack bomber, a fast single-pilot warplane designed in the late 1930s and flown to the end of World War II. Topping out well above 300 miles per hour, the A-20 owes its design to the thoughtful planning of famed Douglas Aircraft designer Ed Heinemann. A-20s fought a ground-skimming war in North Africa and the Pacific, and reached medium altitudes for the push across western Europe in 1944. As this is written, only one flyable A-20 remains, but other static displays and the potential for more flying restorations exists. We used many rare archival photos and film clips from decades of research to illustrate this story of the A-20. Give this video a Thumbs Up, and subscribe to the Airailimages Channel on YouTube. We appreciate it.

The Douglas A-20 - DB-7 Havoc was a family of attack, light bomber and night fighter aircraft of World War II, serving several Allied air forces, principally those of the Soviet Union, United Kingdom, and United States. The DB-7 was also used by the air forces of Australia, South Africa, France, and The Netherlands during the war, and Brazil afterwards. For more on this aircraft and many others, pay us a visit on http://www.aircraftube.com/sitemap/Douglas_A-20_Havoc_DB-7_Boston_P-70.php (you may comment over there, so please do!)
Le Douglas A-20 Havoc (en français "ravage") est un bombardier léger américain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale aussi connu sous les noms DB-7 et Boston. Mis en service en 1941, ce bombardier léger fut construit en grand nombre jusqu'en 1944. Le DB-7 était un puissant avion d'attaque, agréable à piloter et aussi rapide que les chasseurs de son époque. Malheureusement il n'a jamais eut la notoriété qu'il méritait. C'était pourtant un avions sans défaut et polyvalent (bombardement diurne, nocturne, chasse de nuit, attaque à la torpille...) qui avait la réputation de ramener son équipage à la maison quel que soit son état.

Of the more than 7,000 Douglas A-20 Havocs built for U.S. and Allied forces during World War II, just a handful survive, and, as far as we know, only one flies — and it came to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2017. The twin-engine light bomber and attack aircraft is part of Rod Lewis’ Lewis Air Legends collection based in San Antonio, Texas.
Lewis’ Havoc was built in 1943 as an A-20G, is powered by two 1,700-hp Wright R-2600s, armed with seven machine guns, and could carry a bomb load of 4,000 pounds. Restorer Carl Scholl, EAA 184061 of Aero Trader and pilot Stewart Dawson, EAA 187007, share their insights about this remarkable airplane.

Watch the film used to train pilots to fly the A-20. The A-20 was flown as "the Boston" by the Brits on daring hedge hopping '"ramrod' raids over the Continent. It was called the "Havoc" by the US Army Air Force who also flew it on the deck in Europe and skimming the jungles of SE Asia. Thisis one of the most under appreciated aircraft of World War II. Many A-20 crews later transitioned to the A-26 Invader.

The Douglas DB-7/A-20 Havoc was the most-produced attack bomber during World War II. A total of 7,477 DB-7/A-20s were built. The Havoc was a mid-wing, twin-engine, three-place medium bomber that earned a reputation for getting its crews home, even when both crew and aircraft suffered crippling blows. It was called the "Boston" when it was built for England's Royal Air Force.
It entered production when, despite official neutrality in 1938, there was little doubt in the United States that the country should support its allies, Britain and France. The French saw the secret bomber project at the Douglas Santa Monica, Calif., facility and ordered the first 107 DB-7s. The French then ordered another 270 DB-7s. Before the fall of France in June 1940, half had been accepted, but many were still en route.
The United Kingdom took over 162 of the DB-7s intended for France as well as Belgium, which also had fallen. By the time the United States entered World War II at the end of 1941, British Havocs and Bostons had already performed well for most of the year against German targets in North Africa and Southern Europe. The U.S. Army Air Corps designated the plane the A-20 Havoc, and it served in every theater of the war.

Douglas P.
Douglas P. (born Douglas Pearce, 27 April 1956), is an English folk musician, record label owner, photographer and actor who records under the name Death in June. He was born in Sheerwater in Woking, Surrey, and resides in Australia.
Early life
Pearce was born on 27 April 1956, and grew up in Sheerwater, a suburb of London which he described as a "white, working-class ghetto", to a father who worked as a courier for the military, and had served in World War II. Both of his parents were English, though his mother claimed Scots-Irish ancestry. His father died of a heart attack at age 56, when Pearce was 14. Pearce grew up in what he describes as "a very militaristic environment, surrounded by war", and says that he "had a natural attraction to war". At the age of 18 Pearce left home and hitchhiked around Europe and "came home a changed man".
As a child, Pearce was exorcised by his parents for alleged demonic possession, and after his father died, his mother and he would "muck around with a Ouija board". Pearce still firmly believes in the paranormal and occult, and claims to have had contact with various entities.
