The Douglas A-20H was a minor variation on the A-20G, the first solid-nosed version of the Havoc. The main difference between the two versions of the aircraft was the use of slightly more powerful R-2600-29 engines, which provided 1,700hp at takeoff or emergency settings, in place of the R-2600-23, which was going out of production. This engine is sometimes given as a R-2300, but no such engine existed. Like the A-20G, the A-20H had a solid nose carrying six .50in guns, and operated alongside the glass-nosed A-20K. 410 A-20Hs were produced.
