Brazilian A20'S?
« on: October 06, 2008, 08:17:33 AM »

Not Soccer war.  Might be they had some in Italy, along with the Jugs they flew.  Not sure on that, but it's WW2 Era

Weren't the 'Soccer War' planes the WW2 surplus planes used by El Salvador and Honduras during their 100 hour war (a.k.a. The Soccer War) in 1969?

Yep, Corsairs, 51s.  A C47 got used for a bomber.  No A20s at that point

I'm not sure if the Brazilian A-20s were used in anger during WW2 but I can't see HTC allowing an A-20K as an A-20G or Boston skin anyway.
