B-23/UC-67 Dragon

The B-23 was
designed by Douglas as an improved B-18 Bolo. First
flown in 1939, it was much faster than the B-18; however, only
38 were built as it was outclassed by more modern bombers such as the
North American B-25 and Martin B-26. The
B-23 was the first American bomber with a tail gun. Some Dragons were used as
transports and redesignated as the UC-67. |
