A B-26 Marauder medium bomber is seen still in level flight just after it was grievously damaged by anti-aircraft hits to its left wing and tail during an attack on rail bridge at Marzabotto, Italy. It soon thereafter spun out of control and crashed with the loss of its crew [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Zarobljeni Maroder
Nemci su u Noord Beveland-u, Nederland, 3. oktobra 1942. godine, zarobili jedan Maroder iz sastava 319. bombarderske grupe, 437. bombarderskog skvadrona (319th Bomb Group, 437th Bomb Squadron). bio je to Martin B-25B Marauder s/n 41-17790.
Vredno je pomena, kako se to odigralo. Avion je uhvaćen na holandskom ostrvu nakon lažnog nemačkog radijo-navođenja, dok je pilot, poručnik Clarence Vall, pokušao da negde spusti na svoj oštećeni avion sa preostalim motorom tokom svog povratka u Škotsku. Posle ovog bizarnog hvatanja, Marauder je popravljen od strane Luftwaffe, a zatim prikazan na sajmu u Nemačkoj.

Kasnije ga je leteo Hans-Werner Lerche, legendarni Luftwaffe test pilot u avio bazi Rechlin i koji je svoje prijatno iskustvo tokom testova ovog aviona opisao nakon rata u svojim memoarima: “Luftwaffe Test Pilot–Flying captured Allied Aircraft of World War 2”. Čak je pojedine podrugljive nadimke ovog aviona, kao “Widow Maker” odnosno “Flying Prostitute”, podvrgnuo oštroj kritici, pripisavši ih autorkom delu “loših pilota” koji nisu znali da iskoriste sve potencijale ovog aviona.

"Flak Bait" was a Martin B-26 Marauder airplane that genuinely lived up to its nickname. Throughout its career, the aircraft survived a total of 207 missions, including five where it served as a decoy to draw enemy flak fire. That's nearly twice as many total missions as most other plans flew during the war. It also notably took part in the Battle of the Bulge and D-Day at Normandy. On aggregate, Flak Bait holds the United States Air Forces record for the highest number of bombing missions conducted and survived during World War II.
But the most impressive thing about the twin-engine bomber is the amount of flak it absorbed while still somehow staying in the sky.
As it conducted flights across Belgium, France, Germany, and the Netherlands, the aircraft was shot over 1,000 times. Twice, the plane managed to return to base with only one engine. Although it had almost every part of its airframe replaced at one point or another, Flak Bait soared back to the skies for mission after mission...
