The Martin B-26 Marauder was a World War II twin-engine medium bomber built by the Glenn L. Martin Company.

First used in the Pacific Theater in early 1942, it was also used in the Mediterranean Theater and in Western Europe.After entering service with the U.S. Army, it got a reputation as "Widowmaker " due to early models' high rate of accidents during takeoff and landings. The Marauder had to be flown by exact airspeeds, particularly on final approach and when one engine was out. The 150 (241 km/h) mph speed on short final was intimidating to pilots that were used to much slower speeds, and whenever they slowed down below what manual stated, they stalled out and crashed.[3] The Marauder became a safer aircraft once crews were re-trained and after aerodynamics modifications (increase of wing span and incidence, to give better take off performance, and larger fin and rudder).[4] After aerodynamic and design changes, the aircraft distinguished itself as "the chief bombardment weapon on the Western Front" according to a United States Army Air Forces dispatch from 1946. [citation needed] The Marauder ended World War II with the lowest loss rate of any USAAF bomber. [5]
