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.

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.

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