From the day of its inception, the Martin B-26 Marauder was a controversial aircraft, ordered into production from the drawing board, an unprecedented step in 1939.
The B-26's high wing loading and unusual handling characteristics led to an alarmingly high accident rate early in its operational life.
But the aircraft survived constant criticism, and saw service in many war theatres throughout America's involvement in World War II, as a highly successful medium bomber with a very impressive war record.
The B-26 Marauder is one of the GREAT PLANES.
