The A-36 (Not An Apache) Story with Matthew Willis
Matthew Willis, author and Allison-Mustang historian, tells the tangled story of the A-36 dive-bomber and its true name. He traces British origins, design choices like the laminar wing and Allison engine strengths, how the A-36 served in the Mediterranean and CBI, and why production and deployment shifted. Short, myth-busting, and full of aviation detail.
