Martin B-26 Marauder
Note: The borders are even. Just my lousy photography! This is a great print, on heavy art stock showing B-26s over Northern France, August 1944. The B-26 Marauder was a twin-engine medium bomber of the Second World War, built by the Glenn L. Martin Company. Peyton M. Magruder lead the design team for this aircraft after Martin won a 1939 U.S. War Department bid. 5,288 were produced between February 1941 and March 1945; 522 of these were flown by the Royal Air Force and the South African Air Force. The first bomber in the Pacific theater and Aleutian Islands in 1942, it was also used in the European Theater of Operations and in the North African Campaign. This aircraft distinguished itself as "the chief bombardment weapon on the Western Front" according to an Army Air Forces dispatch from 1946, and also because the B-26B maintained the lowest loss record of any combat aircraft during World War II. Its loss record stands in sharp contrast to its unofficial nickname "The Widowmaker" – earned due to its high rate of accidental crashes during takeoff for the B-26A variation.
