Maybe install Fowler flaps, so the wing remain without inclination?
I'd add that so was the wing size - basically, Martin (company) was counting that thick and small wing will beat the thin wing of greater area. Once proven wrong, the wing got bigger (drag went up), and was inclined after that (drag went further up).
Choice/implementation of high-lift devices also left much to be desired, too.
BTW, according to the B-26 manual, the wing incidence went from 3 and half degrees for the B and C versions up to 7 deg at F and G versions.
No. As I pointed out earlier, the airfoil choice was not optimal.
