Martin B-26 Marauder - Flight & FlyBys

[@joemotis6760]

My Father was a B 26 Pilot out of Willingal in England and then to France. Was flying on D Day. His crew was all still alive until my Father passed in 2013. Met his whole crew and went to a couple of reunions in San Diego and New Mexico. His crew and Dad survived 26 missions. He is the reason I have a Cherokee 180 and 2200 hours in my log book(S) As others have mentioned, He was and still is my Hero. Looking at a picture of him and his whole crew in front of a B-26 that lives on my office wall, I am crying. Right next to that picture is him with his hand on the prop of that B26 at Chino. Thank you Dad

What a lovely, clean design. One of the best looking twin engined bombers ever, right up there with the DH Mosquito

[@manuwilson4695]

ABSOLUTELY!!!👍

[@leightonpeters170]

My father flew 68 combat missions in the B26. He was in the 444th of the 320th bomb group. Although he endured 14 crashes due to enemy fire, he never lost a crewman. He flew lead on many missions from North Africa to northern Europe. Thank you for saving this incredible and historic aircraft.

[@WMAJ6]

My father worked at Martin Aircraft in Baltimore during the summer of 1942, installing the bomb release mechanisms in B-26 bombers. He was 17 years old and he and three or four other guys commuted almost two hours each way to work there. The entire parking lot was underneath a giant camouflage netting. The pay was great and he made enough that summer to buy a car. I also know a man who was the co-pilot on the first B-26 over Normandy on D-Day. He said that the B-26 was one of the best planes he ever flew.

…group shot him down. There were 22 bridges over the Po River in northern Italy. Their B-26 group destroyed 21 of them. B-26 had 2ND lowest loss rate, behind the Mosquito. Highest landing speed of ANY piston-powered aircraft in WWII. Dad’s crew survived crash-landing (flipped on back) at a British-captured airfield near Piza. The Brits cut the crew out of the wreck…one member with a broken arm. The rescuers were amazed at the sturdy nature of that plane. Dad was recognized as “Mr Helicopter…Father of the JetRanger” at the convention in Tampa. Someone asked Kermit if Dad could be honored with a private tour of the B-26. Kermit is just that kind of honorable gentleman…and so he personally escorted Dad up into the machine. Dad passed away in 2017 after years of active affiliation with the B-26 veteran’s club in Ft Worth-Dallas. Thanks always to Kermit and FOF for honoring and preserving this history.

One plane with so many interesting nicknames.

[@mikieellis5133]

My father was an 18 year old gunner on the "Widow Maker" was the second plane over the beach at the Normandy invasion, shot down over Belgium & spent several months as a POW. Said it was the hardest plan to fly & crashed frequently. I can't believe how cramped that plane is. Can you imagine the fear of flying in that with flack all around you & your only a teenager.

[@brucesheehe6305]

My grandfather (engineer) was in charge of subcontracting at Martin's Baltimore B-26 factory in WWII. I have a nice print of the B-26 framed and hanging on my wall. The early version of the plane had the nickname of The Baltimore Whore - because the wings were so small the plane had "no visible means of support". The wings were enlarged in later models. It was a high speed medium bomber - needed to be careful to keep up the air speed to avoid stalling. Beautiful Video.

[@travismathews6297]

My grandfather probably knew and worked with yours as he did the same in the Baltimore factory.

[@BaumannJA]

What a marvelous video!! My first Flight instructor was a Marauder pilot in WWII. He didn't talk much about his experiences, but said the B-26 was a very robust Airplane that required real skill to be flown well. He said it was quite unforgiving to even minor complacency up front. He was a great instructor and instilled a lot of that into what he graciously taught me. I personally think the Marauder is the most interesting aircraft in Kermit's collection and wish it was a bit more visible. One of the real "Rare" WWII types with a rather unknown history to many.

Thanks so much for posting the video. My father piloted 65 missions over Europe with the 585th Bomb Sqdn. and I like watching any video of the Marauder I can find. He's been gone for 20 years now but in the few years before he died he did share a few of his "adventures" in the B-26, all but one or two were of a non-combat nature. He didn't really ever talk about actual missions except for that one time where two ships from his formation went down due to collision when they were forming up. All crew members were lost. It's a great airplane and thank you for preserving it.

My father flew the B-26. He was assigned to the 322nd bomb group, flying out of Beauvais, France. He didn’t talk very much about it at all. He flew small private planes for an engineering company in addition to his duties as an engineer. I never thought about it much, other than I knew my dad flew. I have always been proud of my dad and his service. However, After reading the comments about the difficulties of flying the B-26, I am more impressed with his achievements! Thank you for the video.

B-26 is my favourite WW2 medium bomber. Spent many years helping run a museum dedicated to the B-26 Bomb Groups in the UK and as a result, came to respect what a great aircraft it was. Also very fortunate to meet a lot of B-26 veterans. That low level beat up made my day.

I was a weapons loader on the A-26 in the 609th SOS (Special Operations Squadron) stationed at NKP Thailand, 1968-69. I saw how much damage they could take and bring the crew home. We flew counter insurgency missions over the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos. We called the bird "The Truck Killer". My load crew received the Airman's medal for de-arming a napalm bomb on one of the wing pylons that broke the aft mounting lugs and was spilling napalm on the hot aluminum plate parking ramp. Never did get to fly in one, but we would get on the radio at night and make contacts with hams stateside. Thanks for the memories. George, Sarasota, FL

He never went overseas because the war ended just prior to his deployment. However, he always spoke proudly of his time flying both the B-26 AND B-25's. I had the opportunity of visiting Week's museums last year but we were not able to see this ship. I hope to go back and see it sometime.

[@darkredvan]

Very good looking nice plane for sure, but has a reputation of being difficult to fly. I love the looks. In late WWII the area where I live in Germany was heavily bombed by Marauders several times. In the 1970‘s my father owned a small 2-seat sports plane of French design called „Emeraude“. One day an old man came to me and asked, what kind of plane it were. I told him: Emeraude. He misheard and said to me: „You don‘t fool me, son. It is not a Marauder, they are much bigger and have 2 engines. I know exactly how they look and sound, they bombed our house!“

I love watching Kermits videos. It amazes me that he has the collection of rare and super rare warbirds,many airworthy. But it drives me nuts when he spends all the time,effort,money,to get one back in the air only to let them sit in the hangar so long they are un-airworthy again. This is the only time I’ve ever seen a real B-26 Martin Marauder fly in my 67 years as an aviation enthusiast. Maybe Kermit realized it was too valuable to take the chance of damaging it to fly it again? Such a beautiful airplane. One of these days I have to get down to his museum and see it for myself.

[@diffened]

fw1421, I think his is the only "airworthy" B-26 left in the world. The problem with flying these old planes is that if you lose power in one engine during takeoff you can lose the whole airplane and crew. They were somewhat inherently dangerous even without flak and enemy fighters shooting at them. Last year a B-17 crashed and was totally destroyed along with the pilot and co-pilot and 5 paying customers were killed.

[@georgewhitworth9742]

@@diffened Not really, it comes with the territory of flying. Many General Aviation planes flying today are nearly as old. Look up J-3's, DHC-2 Beavers, etc

[@diffened]

@@georgewhitworth9742 Not exactly sure what your point is but mine is this. Of course just because a plane is old doesn't mean it can't be flown. Don't know about the planes you are talking about but one just has to look at the DC-3 to see that old planes can be flown. My point is that the DC-3 is a very safe plane to fly. I personally wouldn't know but have seen many references to what an easy and nice plane it is and is very forgiving of errors. There are also many left. The Marauder on the other hand isn't that way. There is a reason that many B-25's were flown for years after the war in private service and also that there are still many flying now and the B-26 was gotten rid of quickly and very few saw service after the war. It is a harder plane to fly. The B-17 crash was mostly pilot error and poor maintenance but it also meant one less B-17 that was able to be seen by the public. Since this Marauder is one of only a very few left and is the only one that would be able to be put back in flying condition, I don't think it will ever fly again because it is too valuable just as it is.
