XB-10. Comes up under the search engine for "B-10 bomber" as well. ;)

Hi Frank3,

I guess it's a Martin B-10, though I only know a picture of a B-10B with nose gun position, enclosed cockpit and a closed canopy for the crew member in the rear fuselage.

In 1934, 10 B-10 bombers made a non-stop flight from Alaska to Seattle to prove a point about long-range capabilities.

In the Spanish Civil War, the Tupolev SB was called "Martin bomber" by the Luftwaffe, who apparently didn't believe the Soviet Union could produce a sophisticated bomber. (The SB was ahead of the B-10, actually.)

Regards,

Henning (HoHun)

it's predecessor, the B-9 "Death Angel" looked much like it, but with squarer lines and therefore uglier.
