US Air Force B-26B Marauder Medium Bomber.
Fast, twin-engine medium bomber used by the USAAF during World War II. Entering service in 1941, it featured tricycle landing gear, a sleek fuselage, and was powered by two Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engines. Early handling challenges were addressed through design changes, including a broader wingspan and tail. Armed with multiple .50 cal machine guns and capable of carrying up to 4,000 lbs of bombs, the B-26 saw extensive use in Europe and the Mediterranean. Over 5,200 were built, also serving with the RAF and Free French forces.
