Ed Heinemann designed the A-20 and many other military aviation classics

[Freycinet]

Very glad to see all the love Ed Heinemann's A-20 is getting in the sim!

 

Before the A-20 he designed the Douglas SBD Dauntless:

 

 

 

And after the A-20 he went on to design quite a few more true aviation classics:

 

The A-26 (B-26):

 

 

The A-1 Skyraider:

 

 

The A-3 Skywarrior:

 

 

The A-4 Skyhawk:

 

 

The F4D Skyray:

 

 

...and the first plane to fly faster than Mach 2, the Douglas D-558-2 Skyrocket:

 

 

- An amazing career, spanning so much of aviation history!

 

I am happy to have his autobiography on my shelves:
