Katz brings up to date on the B-1's story, we see that the Lancer's story is far from done.

The North American Aviation A-36 was a dive-bombing development of the Mustang I that had been specified by the British during the Second World War. The dive-bomber was ordered by ...the US Army Air Force to supplement their attack aircraft and saw service in the Mediterranean and the China-Burma-India theatres. But the A-36's story is overshadowed by its fighter sister, and matters get even more complicated when it comes to the aircraft's name, which it never officially had.

Author and historian Matthew Willis returns to The Aviation Show to discuss the development and service of the A-36 and champion the Allison-engined Mustangs, which were pretty ace.

A little about Matt

The Guy Behind The Show

Hello, I'm Matt.

After 20 years in the aviation industry, a professional change of direction meant I was no longer spending my days around people and things that fly. The Aviation Show came about so I could indulge my aerospace passions.

Since the show began in 2022 (under the name The Damcasters), we have interviewed some incredible people with fantastic stories to tell. We have also visited some of the most amazing aircraft collections and projects currently being undertaken. It has been a lot of fun and I hope you’ll join us on what has been a most excellent journey so far.

The Aviation Show The Aviation Show

Welcome to

It's a show that celebrates aviation and aerospace, from the first attempts of people jumping off things to humans being fired into space. If it flies, we will cover the story behind those flights and the people who made them happen. Brought to you in association with the Pima Air and Space Museum.
