First one is an A-20 Havoc. It was the first military aircraft to use tricycle landing gear.

The B-26 came along in 1940 and it had tricycle landing gear.
One of it's early problems was the front gear collapsed a few
times. I believe the A-20 was even prior to the B-26 & A-26.
A-20 and B-26 are similar in a lot of ways.

PS Great photos!

Here are a few pics I've taken of restored and running WWII aircraft.

This is the last operational B-29.

Now this is a REAL "belly gun" - B17.

Great photos guys. I was fortunate to get a ride in the B-17G "Texas
Raiders". Kept watching out the waist gunners window for
"Focke Wulf FW-190s and Messerschmitt ME-109s.
Thanks
