Martin B-26 Marauder Medium Bomber Family
The Martin B-26 Marauder was a fast twin-engine medium-bomber family developed for the United States Army Air Corps and flown by American and Allied crews in every major European and Mediterranean campaign of the Second World War. Its demanding takeoff and landing characteristics gave way to a strong combat record after refinement, and its low wartime loss rate and large sortie total made it one of the conflict most consequential medium bombers.
