That must have been something to see that plane flying over the Chesapeake Bay. Imagine you're just a pleasure boater taking an afternoon cruise out of Annapolis and you see that. It's a shame none survived, but it seems like a lot of the Martin types are extinct or only a very few examples still exist.

There is a truly excellent book on this aircraft which covers the concept, inception and test program. Excellent photos and drawings support the text. Take a look at:

Truly a shame none were saved for posterity.....

Enjoy the Day! Mark
