Martin's revolutionary B-10 bomber made all other
bombers of the early 1930s obsolete. It had all-metal construction (no
fabric and string), one wing instead of two, enclosed cockpits (the crew
stayed warm and dry), and powered gun turrets. It was also highly
streamlined, with retractable landing gear, an internal bomb bay, and
full engine cowlings. With a top speed of over 200 mph, the B-10 was
faster than any other bomber or fighter of its day. The U.S. Army Air
Corps purchased more than 100 B-10s and eight other countries also
purchased the aircraft.
Note: Each month a different image from the current calendar year is featured here. To avoid
the gnawing 12-month period of suspense to see all 12 pieces (along with lots of aviation
anniversaries (When did the first pig fly?), incredible trivia (What is Godzilla's "birthday"?),
and outrageous quotes from people that should know better) place your
order for the Aerocatures™ Calendar now!
