This B-26 is going hunting, and is well prepared to accommodate any Korean Communist enemy game in whatever manner it may be found. For a troop concentration, dug in positions, bivouac area, a battery of hard hitting .50 caliber machine guns is ready; for a tank, locomotive, bridge or tunnel, a cluster of high velocity 5-inch rockets, and for vehicles, storage dumps, fuel and supply caches, barracks, warehouses, gun emplacements, rolling stock and dozens of other enemy targets, two deadly tanks of napalm and a number of high explosive bombs are available. Provisions for enemy aircraft are not neglected, as evidenced by the twin fifties pointing skyward. This Far East Air Forces 3rd Bomb Group B-26 light bomber represents a truly formidable "huntsman." (circa February 1951)
