Two complete and separate design cycles chronicles our story The B-26 Goes to War. War fever caused authorities to forego prototype testing the B-26 went straight from drawing board to battle. The 22nd Bomb Group, with short 65 ft. wingspan B-26s entered combat in the Southwest Pacific. The Armys Torpedo Challenge chronicles exploits in the realm of pure fantasy. Getting-it-right Navy torpedoes on Army bombers is intense, vivid and entertaining. Flying the straight uncovered deficiencies. A modified B-26B emerged with a 71 ft. wingspan. These were earmarked for combat in North Africa and Europe. For the Flak-Bait story see Appendix H.

The ultramodern Martin B-26 prototype medium bomber first flown 25 November 1940 achieved a top speed of 315 mph, fastest of any U.S. bomber and narrowing the gap between its speed and that of existing Army pursuit planes. Innovations include: self-sealing gas tanks, armor plating and a full bomb load of two tons.
