A twin engine, medium range bomber, distinguished for its service over WW2's "Western Front". Capable of medium to low level bombing and strafing ground targets, it helped save the lives of American soldiers assaulting Utah Beach during the Invasion of Normandy.
Designed to meet a USAAC requirement, the Martin B-26 Marauder was first flown on November 25th, 1940. It overcame a rocky start to become one of the finest medium bombers of World War II. The Martin's nose assembly contained a glazed window position for a single crew member acting as bombardier. Other positions included a dorsal turret gunner, who was placed at the tail vertical fin, and a tail gunner occupying the aft position. Armament consisted of well-placed defensive machine gun positions throughout the fuselage. Twelve heavy caliber 12.7mm (.50 caliber) machine guns defended the aircraft from nose to tail.© Copyright 2003-2009 The Flying Mule, Inc.
