B-26 Marauder Medium Bomber

The Martin B-26 Marauder was an American twin-engine medium bomber introduced during the Second World War. Its relatively high wing loading and demanding early handling led to a difficult training reputation, but improvements in procedures and experience made it an effective operational aircraft. It served prominently in European and Mediterranean bombing campaigns. The B-26 designation differed from the later postwar use of that number for the Douglas Invader, an unrelated design with a different development history. Crews and ground organizations overcame many early difficulties through training and experience. Successful later operations followed changes in training and experience, overcoming much of the notoriety associated with the aircraft’s demanding early introduction to American service.
