EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Martin B-10 bomber, an American-built aircraft that played a significant role in the early years of military aviation. The Martin B-10, also known as the "Moonlit Marauder," was a twin-engine, medium bomber produced by the Glenn L. Martin Company during the late 1930s. With a top speed of 225 miles per hour and a range of over 1,000 miles, this aircraft was considered advanced for its time. The Martin B-10 was designed to carry a bomb load of up to 2,000 pounds and was armed with four machine guns. Its innovative features included a retractable landing gear and a pressurized cabin, which allowed the crew to fly at high altitudes for extended periods. The aircraft's sleek design and distinctive shape are evident in this photograph, with its rounded wings and streamlined fuselage. The Martin B-10 saw action in the early stages of World War II, serving with distinction in the Philippines before being retired from service in the late 1940s. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the aviation industry during this period, and serves as a reminder of the critical role that aircraft played in shaping the course of military history. This photograph, taken from an unknown source, is a valuable addition to any aviation or military history collection. The Martin B-10 may no longer be in service, but its legacy lives on as a symbol of the pioneering spirit that drove the development of military aviation.
