This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

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
