This massive, comprehensive volume is the first to give the reader a definitive description of this neglected bomber, its development, testing, and manufacture. The role of the enigmatic aviation icon Glenn L. Martin is described in the development of the American aviation industry and the Marauder. The author made extensive use of the massive document and photo collections of the Marauder Archives at Akron and Tucson, and the Air Force collection at the NMUSAF. Martin Company design and production information and flight and test evaluations, along with original Company Flight, Parts, and Maintenance Manuals, and rare archival microfilm of original material were also used. The author was given unprecedented access to the family records of B-26 designer Peyton Magruder. The text is complemented by archival photos and drawings, and new color photos of the Marauders at the NMUSAF, Fantasy of Flight, and MAPS Museum.

At Bad Frankenhausen, a group built this glider in 1600 manhours 273 First assembly of a “Rhönadler” at Schwabach – again a group bought the plans and built the glider themselves 274 top Atmospheric fly-by at the Hesselberg in Bavaria 274 bottom Photo taken at Brno, the glider of Steinhoff, in the background the DB10 of Braeutigam. Together with 2 other companions, they managed to achieve the first 500 km flight in gliding history. Compare page 87 and caption description in the other pdf for more information – and 286 shows the “Rhönsperber” which was also in this successful group.

  • Tions Have Been Presented As the Very Truth...)
    The famous Do 335 Pfeil was also twinned, into Dornier Do 335Z, or Do 635. This project came from several teams: Dornier, Heinkel (P.1075) and Junkers (Ju 635), in unknown order (many combina- tions have been presented as The very truth...). One of the versions was a simple twinning of traditional Do 335 with a very solid central wing, holding the heavy rear engines without tail-link. A redesigned ver- sion would have provided a three-seater derivative, with asymmetry in the canopies and with landing gears in the fuselages. These "push-pull" planes would have kept the lower fins of the Do 335, to protect the tail propel- lers in case of nose-up up landing. The "twin-fuselage push-pull" layout had a very low drag: 2 bodies only, instead of 5 on a traditional plane (standard Constellation, or Argosy). This family includes mysterious codes: - It was written in a book (without detail nor illustration) that the Ju 635 was a double Do 435 (Do 435Z?). Two interpretations are possible: either this refers to a temporary 435 code (for the 335B?) or the final Do 435 was doubled. This one was a plane with mixed propulsion, derived from the 335 replacing the rear engine by a jet. The advantage was to have both range with the economic piston engine, and speed burst with the powerful jet; the Ryan Fireball tested such intermediate formula, quickly out-of-date when jets improved in fuel rate. - The code Ju 6-835 was also mentioned. It could be a mistyping, from historian or technician or official: the figures 6 and 8 being reversed.
