EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the United States Army Air Service's Martin B-10M bomber, registration number 33-144, during its service years in the late 1930s. Originally built as a YB-10 prototype, this aircraft underwent several designations and modifications throughout its military career. It was first re-designated as a B-10A after initial testing, then further upgraded to the B-10M standard. Despite its advancements, the B-10M met a tragic end on July 18, 1942, when it crashed at Slaughter, Nebraska. The exact cause of the accident remains unclear, but the loss of this aircraft marked the end of the B-10 series in the United States Army Air Service. The Martin B-10M was a single-engine, twin-boom monoplane bomber, featuring a crew of three and a maximum takeoff weight of approximately 13,000 pounds. Armed with a variety of machine guns and bombs, it was designed to provide close support for ground troops and engage enemy targets from the air. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the history of early military aviation, showcasing the B-10M's distinctive design and the determination of the United States Army Air Service to develop advanced aircraft for their armed forces. The image stands as a testament to the courage and innovation of the pilots and engineers who served during this era, paving the way for future military aviation advancements.
