Designed for the United States Army Air Corps, this medium bomber was at the forefront of tactical bombing strategies. Although its service life was relatively short due to the fast-paced evolution of military aircraft leading up to World War II, the A-18 Shrike was a critical step in the development of more advanced bombers.
