The A-26 Invader originally began life as a private venture on the part of the Douglas plant at El Segundo, California, so at the end of World War Two, it wasn't surprising that surplus Invaders were quickly purchased as high-performance business aircraft with conversions undertaken by On Mark,  L.B. Smith Company,  Lockheed Air Service (LAS), Rhodes Berry, Rock Island Oil & Refining Co, LeTourneau , World Corp, Grand Central Air Services and Aero Trades Inc., to haul business executives in comparative speed and luxury at an affordable cost.

A number of A-26s were sold off as surplus after the end of the Second World War. As early as 1946, a few Invaders began to appear on US civilian registers.

These planes had come primarily from a batch of 28 A-26s than had gone directly to surplus as soon as they had left the factory, with in some cases minimal modifications, such as the removal or modification of military features, such as bomb bay doors being sealed shut, passenger entry stairs and larger windows added, and the conversion of the fuselage to accept six to eight passengers, sometimes within a new and highly modified pressurised cabin. 

Improvements developed considerably until the early 1960s, when purpose-built executive types started to become available.

Companies such as On Mark took pride in individualizing both the interior and exterior of each conversion, making the aircraft unique for each customer.
