    Took this picture of a Maurder model at the Glenn L, Martin museum in Middle River, MD. It is a small museum but has a lot of desplays and info. I didn't know about this museum but went there to see the MEMPHIS BELLE when she was there in 2013. I don't live far so was just a short drive.

    It's such a pleasant surprise when you come across a local place with historical displays and information like this small museum. Nice Find.

    I am not sure I would have liked to have been crew in that plane after reading Wiki.

    Not as unusual as you might think for WW2. It was definitely a less forgiving plane than the B-25, but with a bit of tweeking (most of the high accident rates came early in it's service life), and more became known, it gave good service, and was a tough plane to shoot down.
