Čaj Daglas B-18 Bolo is an American medium bomber which served with the United States Army Air Corps and the Royal Canadian Air Force (as the Digby) during the late 1930s and early 1940s. The Bolo was built by the Douglas Aircraft Company, based on its DC-2, and was developed to replace the Martin B-10. By 1940, it was considered to be underpowered, to have inadequate defensive armament, and to carry too small a bomb load. Many were destroyed during the attacks on Pearl Harbor and the Philippines in December 1941.

Čaj Daglas B-18 Bolo je bio srednji bombarder avion razvijen u KSNUMKSs za United States Armi Air Corps. Zasnovan je na komercijalnom avionu DC-KSNUMKS i imao je za cilj da zameni Martin B-KSNUMKS kao standardni bombarder vazduhoplovstva. Međutim, ubrzo je u senci naprednijih Boeing B-17 Fliing Fortress i Consolidated B-24 Liberator, koji je imao veću brzinu, domet, i nosivost. B-KSNUMKS je uglavnom korišćen za obalne patrole i protivpodmorničkog ratovanja tokom Drugog svetskog rata, kao i za obuku i transportne misije. Izgrađeno je ukupno 350 B-18, od kojih je 122 pretvoreno u B-18A varijantu sa snažnijim motorima i poboljšanim odbrambenim naoružanjem. B-18 je takođe izvezen u Brazil, Kanadu i Dominikansku Republiku.
