Hero of D-Day
One of the unsung heroes of the Allied war effort, the Martin B-26 was a medium bomber that could pack a wallop, serving as a ground attack airplane capable of coming in fast and low, and a ground support platform with a lot of firepower. At first the B-26 was a handful to fly, but Martin eventually gave the B-26 a much larger vertical tail (its most prominent feature), longer and more forgiving wings and improved engines (Pratt & Whitney R-2800s). On D-Day, the B-26 was one of the most valuable assets attacking Nazi positions, and by war's end it suffered the fewest losses of any Allied airplane.
