...the Martin B-26 Marauder medium bomber of WW II raised
many discussions due to early development crashes...but it also became a fast
and dependable work-horse that gained love and respect from all the crews whose
lives depended on her...and was described as a more stable bombing platform than
the famous North American B-25 Mitchell.
It could take a beating from FLAK
and still get the crews back home...,unfortunately, this great plane is almost
extinct now. The Marauder played a major role in the liberation of Europe during
WWII.
