martin marauder in action
Bookmarked 760 weeks ago the martin b-26 marauder was an american world war ii twin-engine medium bomber built by the glenn l martin companythe first medium bomber in the pacific theater and aleutian islands in early 1942 it was also used in the mediterranean theater of operations and the european theater of operations the plane distinguished itself as quotthe chief bombardment weapon on the western frontquot according to an us army air forces dispatch from 1946 and later variants maintained the lowest loss record of any combat aircraft during world war ii its late-war loss record stands in sharp contrast to its unofficial nickname quotthe widowmakerquot -- earned due to early models039 high rate of accidental crashes during takeoffa total of 5288 were produced between february 1941 and march 1945 522 of these were flown by the royal air force and the south african air forcein 1939 the united states army air corps issued a specification for a twin-engined medium bomber circular proposal 39-640 six months later glenn l martin company presented a design to the us army air corps peyton m magruder led the design team for this aircraft after martin won the contract this design martin model 179 was accepted for production before a prototype even flew due to the desperate need for medium bombers following the intensification of world war ii in europeonce the first aircraft came off the production line in november 1940 martin conducted tests the results of which were promising the first b-26 with martin test pilot william k quotkenquot ebel at the controls flew on 25 november 1940 and was effectively the prototype soon after it was turned over to the army air corps to be service tested it went from paper concept to working plane in less than two yearswhile the b-26 was a fast plane with better performance than the contemporary b-25 mitchell its relatively small wing area and resulting high wing loading the highest of any aircraft used at that time led to tricky high-speed landings approach at 140 mph 225 kmh and stall at 130 mph 210 kmh indicated airspeed the r-2800 engines were reliable but the electric pitch change mechanism in the propellers required impeccable maintenance and was prone to failure failure of the mechanism placed the propeller blades in flat pitch with instant total loss of power due to the rotund fuselage the b-26 engines were placed far outboard and loss of power on one side resulted in a violent snap roll flipping the aircraft on its back this led to a high number of accidents during takeoff thus earning b-26 the nickname quotwidowmakerquot by its pilots other colorful nicknames included quotmartin murdererquot quotthe flying coffinquot quotb-dash-crashquot quotthe flying prostitutequot because it had no visible means of support referring to the small wings and quotthe baltimore whorequot a reference to the city where martin was basedthe toll eventually led to a halt in production during this time a commission of inquiry led by then-senator harry truman was appointed to look into the problem when truman and the other commission members arrived at the avon park bombing range they were greeted by the still-burning wreckage of two crashed marauders indeed the regularity of crashes by pilots training at macdill field up to fifteen in one thirty day period led to the only mildly exaggerated catchphrase quotone a day in tampa bayquotthe resulting aircraft designated b-26b had a 6 ft 18 m increase in wingspan and other changes some of which reduced the aircraft039s speed the newer version had reduced landing and stall speeds the safety of the b-26b was an immense improvement: it had the lowest attrition rate of any aircraft used during the war nevertheless it remained a challenging plane to fly and continued to be unpopular with potential crews throughout its lifegeneral characteristicscrew: 7: 2 pilots bombardier navigatorradio operator 3 gunners length: 58 ft 3 in 178 m wingspan: 71 ft 0 in 2165 m height: 21 ft 6 in 655 m wing area: 658 ft 611 m empty weight: 24000 lb 11000 kg loaded weight: 37000 lb 17000 kg powerplant: 2 pratt ampamp whitney r-2800-43 radial engines 1900 hp 1400 kw each zero-lift drag coefficient: 00314 drag area: 2066 ft 192 m aspect ratio: 766 performancemaximum speed: 287 mph 250 knots 460 kmh at 5000 ft 1500 m cruise speed: 216 mph 188 knots 358 kmh landing speed: 104 mph 90 knots 167 kmh combat radius: 999 nm 1150 mi 1850 km ferry range: 2480 nm 2850 mi 4590 km service ceiling: 21000 ft 6400 m wing loading: 464 lbft 228 kgm powermass: 010 hplb 170 wkg lift-to-drag ratio: 120 armamentguns: 12 50 in 127 mm colt-browning machine guns bombs: 4000 lb 1800 kg |
