I believe PIMA'S Bolo is set up like that.

See post 30.

Yep - that's the only photo I've ever seen of a B-18 with a MAD boom. I'd like to see how it was fitted to the tail.

PS - great pics! Your contributions are appreciated!!!

The notched B-10, this was the 2nd and final setup as a tow target aircraft.

So that's what that is, huh? What about that "fence" above the engine necelle?

That came about due to the glare from the exhaust pipes. Technical Order 01-35B-14 dated November 12 1936 was issued for "Martin - Installation of Exhaust Anti-Glare Shields". It was not mandatory and was up to the Unit Commander if they were to be installed or not.

Damn straight that IS your plane son!

Just an observation, but shouldn't these Martin B-10 photos be in the Martin B-10/B-12/B-14 photo thread?

 

[Capt. Vick]

Picky, picky.
