The USAF ordered English Electric Canberras as a need to fill a mission gap - however the order could not be fulfilled in the UK so Martin was able to license build Canberras under the B-57 designation.

The B-57A looks similar to the Canberra B mk2 however there were actually many differences - not least the the Wright J65 engines. Due to the bubble canopy, targeting the 8 x 12.7mm Browning guns was found to be very difficult, and so the canopy and nose were totally redesigned into what became the B-57B.

 

Only 8 B-57As were built.
