| Warren Dixon , FL | Martin B-26 Marauder tail number 40-1464 is on display at Kermit Weeks' Fantasy of Flight at Polk City, FL. In light of the serial number beginning with 40, I believe it is a B-26A.
Also, the first photo below showing tail no. BC-287, is a Douglas A-26 Invader. After all of the B-26 Martin Marauders were retired in 1947, the A-26 was redesignated the B-26, which often causes confusion. The Invader kept the B-26 designation from 1948 through 1962, and was used through the Korean War and parts of the Viet Nam War. In the Viet Nam War, it was once again designated the A-26. 03/16/2012 @ 06:34 [ref: 54314] |
| Paul D. Harvey Clinton, UT | The U.S. Forest Service is using the Marauder as a fire bomber. I see them during the summer fly in and out of Hill Air Force Base or the Ogden Airport in Utah during the summer. One of the modifieds crashed last year. The particular plane was fitted with two jet engines on either wing. These old planes certainly were very powerful. 02/16/2009 @ 14:15 [ref: 23739] |
| Diana Nemetz Tucson, AZ | For those who are researching data on specific B-26 Marauders, may I make a suggestion? I am with the Marauder Historical Society and the International B-26 Marauder Archive is located here at the Pima Air & Space Museum. To contact them, email them at aboehly@pimaair.org. I hope this helps you out! 04/22/2008 @ 10:40 [ref: 20677] |

| Mark Perkoski , CA | Is there a way to tie the serial number of a plane back to the pilots name? 11/18/2000 @ 02:13 [ref: 1057] |
| Kathleen Adams , NY | From my father's missing crew report of 11/21/44, the plan was a B-26G1 MA with AAf serial number 43-34204. This does not correspond to your known serial numbers. Do you know why? Is there a way to find out what happened to another B-26 if we have the serial number? 08/24/2000 @ 10:40 [ref: 650] |
