A-26C Invader

A-26C Invader is a remarkable flying warbird connected with the history of U.S. military aviation. The A-26 Invader itself was one of the most versatile light bombers of World War II and later served during the Korean War and several Cold War conflicts. The aircraft became famous for its high speed, heavy bomb load, and effectiveness in ground-attack missions.

“Sweet Eloise II” has an especially impressive combat record. According to available reports, it accumulated more than 1,800 flight hours during the Korean War and was damaged twice by anti-aircraft fire. Its crews reportedly nicknamed it “The Magnet” because it seemed unusually adept at attracting enemy fire while continuing to return safely.

In 2025, “Sweet Eloise II” arrived in Poland, becoming one of the most fascinating historic aircraft based in the country. Thanks to careful restoration work, visitors can admire the aircraft in a condition closely resembling its wartime appearance, making it a valuable piece of twentieth-century aviation heritage.
