Photo Comment

Indonesia received six out of an intended eight B-26Bs, the AURI having the distinction of being the last air force in the world to use the Invader in an offensive military capacity. The last was not retired until 1976. This one is in fact M-267, while the original M-265 is preserved at Surabaya.
