Looking for Martin B-26 manual

[GrauGeist]

I've been digging around realized that there doesn't seem to be a manual for the Martin B-26.

What I'm looking for, in particular, is page 563 (figure 534)...

Anyone have this, by chance?

I have 4 pdf manuals on the plane though not sure if its how they are scanned or what as mine only go to around 200 or less.

Thanks Paul

This is an early manual and shows diagrams of various systems and early versions for the pilot/crew to familiarize themselves with the aircraft.

Not sure if the manual I am looking for was a continuation or addendum, which would explain the high page number.

Interesting, Wonder if its a Erection and Maintenance manual, I have one for the A-26 but not the B-26

Here is Figure 534 from the A-26 Erection and maintenance manual.

Yes!!

Look at that, the 75 mm cannon illustration!

I thought it was the B-26, however, not the A-26...

The manual that come from is for the A-26B through A-26C aircraft.

ok Paul, awesome and Thanks!!

I'm digging up some info on the cannon birds (A-38, B-18, etc...) and I recall that they also tested (what I thought was the B-26) one on this airframe.

I was going on memory, so I'm glad I was at least close

No problem, glad I could help

You are right/wrong because the USAF did away with the A- designations post war, and, being as the Martin B-26 was already out of service, re-designated the A-26 to B-26 between 1948 and 1965 (just to confuse everyone 65 years later)

I was checking to see if the Martin B-26 had trialed the 75mm but it turns out the Douglas A-26 was the airframe that had tested the 75mm.

I know that some folks tend to confuse the post-war Douglas redesignation
