What a grand Lady! Originally shared by Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum The Martin B-26B-25-MA Marauder #FlakBait survived over 200 operational missions in Europe during #WWII – more than any other American aircraft during that war. We’re working to preserve and re-assemble it at our Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar at the Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA. Learn more about the history and preservation of this historic aircraft, follow our progress, and share your connections: http://bit.ly/Flak_Bait
