Question: Did the Marksman use the cockpit enclosure from another aircraft? It looks like a DC-6 windshield..really mucks up the lines of an otherwise slick bird. I'm assuming it was done for pressurization purposes.

The Marksman used a purpose built fuselage and not the Douglas built one. Mucks up the lines as compared to the Marketeer yes, but I still kinda like it. It looks brutal.

T J,

Here is another On Mark Marksman, perhaps the demonstrator. I shot N100Y about 1960 at Medford, OR.

Thanks for the nice comment on my site earlier in this thread. More A-26s here:

Thanks for posting this photo Ron. Can't say I have seen this one on your website.


And here is a photo of N303WC. It was later bought by the late G Edward Counselman of Topeka, KS who died in his second On-Mark N4813E when it crashed into a mountain in New Mexico.

And here are a few photos of N500MR sent to me by J George Rivera who rebuilt the a/c in the 1980s. Not the best quality, but interesting images of an On-Mark in the autumn of its career. I haven't seen any interior photos of it while Bill Farrell owned it, or indeed after Minos Kiriakou bought it, but I would think it retains the plush interior.

Woah Sledge. Now that's a great photo of N500M. I first encountered this a/c in Reed Kinert's racing annual from the 71 season. It stated that 500M was copper tone with white/ blue trim. Unfortunately the photo was in b/w in that book. All later color photos of the a/c in that scheme that I've seen has portrayed it as either black or coal grey. It is therefore cool to see that Kinert was actually correct in his description of it. This is a stunning Marketeer! So much better than in my photos from 1987 above.

One of the shiniest warbirds I have seen. It was a beauty. From what I have heard, the owner of this one has 2 other A-26s! This one is N126HK, a C model built in 1944.

Howard Keck also have N26BK which flies, and N99426 which doesn't. If anyone know Mr. Keck please try to get him to rebuild N99426 to flying condition. That would be the only airworthy Marksman today!
