Very interesting image as it shows 3 bladed props. That I recall, all B-26 Marauders were built with Curtis Electric 4 bladed props. With the silver part of the blade adjacent to the spinner and the hole in the spinner, leads me to think these may be VDMs, which the Germans used in place of damaged props if the plane crash landed. Would love to see how they modified the R-2800-43 to link up the pitch change motor and mechanism.
Very nice & Historical Pictures..
Great ferry picture and info. Looks like maybe you can see the white of a roundel star through the landing gear struts. Where would they have mounted guns if they were ferrying overseas? Was that done stateside at a base after the factory but before crossing overseas? Could that have been the first destination here?Doubt it's Europe bound. Looks like a B-26 or B-26A. The release date is too early for B-26Bs. It could be a B-26A that will be modified to Marauder I standards, but they went directly to North Africa. I can't make out the placement of the fuselage national insignia, which would confirm whether it's a B-26 or B-26A. The B-26A's was smaller and further back
