Historical Picture
B-26 real

The Martin B-26 Marauder overcame a rocky start to become one of the finest American medium bombers of World War II. It had a somewhat chequered career: in its early days "Widow Maker" was one of the least unpleasant names bestowed on it, and its continued production was in jeopardy at least four times. It had its faults but in the hands of an experienced pilot was, as it later proved successfully to be an excellent weapon, and by the end of the war in Europe Marauders had a much lower attrition rate than any other U.S. aircraft. This accomplishment was highlighted by the fact that a B-26 was the first to carry out 200 combat missions during the second World War.
