Douglas B-18A Bolo by Willard Womack Via Flickr: Based on the DC-2 it proved to be inadequate, and was quickly removed from active combat. Many were destroyed at Pearl Harbor, while some became anti submarine planes patrolling the coasts. One became the first plane to sink a German submarine. This paint scheme is early 1942.

A Douglas B-18A Bolo bomber, 37-619, of the 1st Reconnaissance Squadron, returning from submarine patrol duties went off course due to high winds, darkness and poor radio contact. Instead of landing at Westover Field, later Westover AFB, in Massachusetts they crashed into Mount Waternomee in New Hampshire's White Mountains. 5 of the 7 crew members survived.

Douglas B-18 Bolo ‘BI-24’ [37-029] (N52056) by Alan Wilson Via Flickr: c/n 1890. Full US military serial 37-029. Of the five preserved Bolos, this is the only straight B-18, the others are either B-18A or B-18B models. Another B-18 exists in the Kohala Mountains, Hawaii where it crashed in 1941. Although stripped for parts (the nose turret was used in the restoration of 37-029 seen here) it may yet be recovered for display in Honolulu. ’37-029’ is on display at the Castle Air Museum, Atwater, CA. 4th March 2016
