F.A.Q Section Q: Do you take aircraft requests? A: I have a list of aircraft I plan to cover, but feel free to add to it with suggestions:) Q: Why do you use imperial measurements for some videos, and metric for others? A: I do this based on country of manufacture. Imperial measurements for Britain and the U.S, metric for the rest of the world, but I include text in my videos that convert it for both. Q: Will you include video footage in your videos, or just photos? A: Video footage is very expensive to licence, if I can find footage in the public domain I will try to use it, but a lot of it is hoarded by licencing studies (British Pathe, Periscope films etc). In the future I may be able to afford clips :) Q: Why do you sometimes feature images/screenshots from flight simulators? A: Sometimes there are not a lot of photos available for certain aircraft, so I substitute this with digital images that are as accurate as possible. Feel free to leave you questions below - I may not be able to answer all of them, but I will keep my eyes open :)
I guess they had no choice when pilots came back with hypothermia. Lol . Imagine the trainee pilots being told to harden up it's part of the job. I've ridden motorcycles all my life, I know what it's like to be cold.
Ever since I flew it in Warthunder it has become one of my all-time favorite twin engine planes. I just think it's one of the coolest planes I've seen in years.
Love this thing. Two 1000s or a 2k is a very good load at 1.3. it flies great and is just a classic. Paired with the M10 or used in naval it is a superb quick in and out bomber, but not as fragile as a dive bomber. Though I do enjoy using SB2Us as well.
One of the few reasons I still want to return to War Thunder one day, the B-10 and early tiers in general were super fun but just.. Boring, once you unlock and max out everything.
As a relative newcomer to this channel I just wish to express my admiration for your diligent research and accurate use of imagery for the planes in question. Thank you.
I've been fascinated by this plane ever since I first saw it in a book called Air War: Pacific that my dad had. I can't begin to tell you how giddy I was when I was finally able to see the last remaining one at the USAF Museum while I was helping my brother move across country. My dad was an Airforce veteran and he had always wanted to bring us there, but he passed away from cancer before he had the chance. It felt like he was there with us in spirit though.
I love your videos of interwar aircraft, such a bizarre time in aviation when aircraft were being pioneered in a more advanced state than WWI but hadn't yet been proven in the fires of WWII.
Just recently subscribed to your excellent channel. I'm now working my way through your back catalogue! One small correction: at 12:53 I think you meant to say "by the end of February, 1942, Java was surrounded." The Battle of Java began when Japanese forces landed on 28Feb, and ended when British, Australian and American commanders signed surrender documents on 12March, Dutch forces having surrendered a few days earlier.
yeah his voice is pleasant and he doesn't come off like a know it all and he sounds excited to be telling you ever small detail. I would like alittle filler at the end with maybe movies it was in or old pictures of dogs in pilot seat because you know theres atleast one black and white picture of each plane out there where a pilot thought it looked cute
1 minor correction The footage that Rex showed with the b10 bombers being operated in Arctic conditions That's not footage from the Chesapeake Air drop That's actually footage from a Arctic operations exercise that they use the Martin b10 bombers in Alaska to simulate operating in Arctic conditions to see how the planes and pilots and cruise would be able to survive an Arctic mission
Always loved the fully glazed cockpit and the hothouse look of the rear gunner position. And of course the bubble like front gun turret is very distinctive. It's a hugely important aircraft because somewhat like, ( though not to the same extent ) HMS Dreadnought everything else that came before was now obsolete and every future bomber project would have to take note of the B-10's performance
Interesting video. I appreciate the context you include with your videos. Like the B 18 Bolo bomber built by Douglas, which succeeded the B 10, these planes seem little known today. Both planes were advanced for the 1930s. Thanks
The B-18 was done kind of on the cheap. Using wings from the DC-2 or 3 saved a lot of money. But then Hoeing would go the other way and use the wings from the B-15*, B-17 and B-29 on the commercial side *I think they used it on the Clippers for Pan Am. There us a story that nobody ever made money building airplanes for Juan Trippe. At least until the 707.
I guess you could say this was the stealth bomber of it’s day. It was the first all metal bomber to be in the US Army Air Corps… And Martin kept refining through it’s production run. Great video
Pretty amazing that the USAAC essentially went from biplanes, to this B-10, to the B-17 in less than 10 years. Less than 10 years after that, the ~600mph B-47 strati jet was flying.
And in fighters went from the P-26 to the P-80 in ten years. In a lot of ways the US really lagged in aircraft development in the 30s. A lot of th his had to do with Depression era economics. The other brake on development was the deep rooted desire to stay out of the worlds problems. Especially in the Congress. Also the Navy got the lions share of money especially after FDR got into office. Partly because he was a former Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Also partly because he saw increased spending on Naval construction as a means to boost the steel industry. In some ways I think people overstate the effects of the Depression. Ford, GM, Chrysler and a bunch of independents were still building automobiles. There were still people building houses. I have heard it said more true millionaires came out of the Depression than the Roaring 20s. Partly because people who had some money were able to buy property cheaply. I'm not saying a lot of people did not go through tough times. But I don't think unemployment ever got over 20%. I know neither of my grandfathers were ever out of work in the 30s.
My Grandfather, with an engineering degree, worked at a power plant through the Great Depression and WWII. These observations, of course, in no way justify allowing or encouraging economic depressions to occur, nor do they rationalize any crackpot economic theories such as "Trickle Down".
@@maynardmckillen9228 One grandfather (mothers side) was a licensed Stationary Engineer (power plant operator). He worked at a mill producing brass tube and sheet. The other was a Tool and Die Maker in Chicago. Changed shops more than once but usually went from one to another the next day. Still have some of his tools which l used.
Distinctly; remember perhaps 1964-65 seeing a B-10 at Caldwell Airport in NJ. There was a Curtis Wright engine factory not far. It. Caldwell/Fairfield Airport, was home to a B-17 radio jamming fuselage during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It had a B-24 on site, and during occasions F4U and P-51...
5:10 "Frozen pilots aside"!!! You know something? Your sense of humour far exceeds the awesome information you provide, and that's seriously genius! Thank you so much!
I've never seen the planform view of the B-10 before. That huge wingspan reminds me of the WB-57 Canberra, also a twin-engine Martin aircraft (although originally British).
I don’t know if you have covered the F9C sparrowhawk and it’s Diesel punk ‘ Aircraft carriers‘ USS Macon and USS Akron yet , but if not I’d like to suggest it as one or two videos.
Fascinating to learn more about the B10. My uncle died on 19 Feb 1942 when his NEI B10 (M531) went down on a mission against the Japanese over Sumatra. Thanks for the story.
Looks oddly 'modern' (well, WW2, at least) - until you see the open cockpit! A plane that spaned the gap from post WW1 byplanes to seeing action in WW2 - quite something.
My thoughts are the same. Imagine open cockpit when they were trying to do those resupply runs to those islands in winter. You would end up with a pilot popsicle.
I find your channel to be well-researched, intriguing, and yet to be disappointed with any of your videos. I'm just surprised you do not have more subscribers
Love this aircraft. First learned about it when reading about our (Dutch) air force which was the main user of it. Very cool looking but sadly too old by the time the war started.
@@jonas_k.123 they were old but were used very extensively. Even the older variants were put into service again. They've been used against Japanese beach landings, shipping convoys and transpoycolumns.
@@jonas_k.123 true, and they didn't. The fighter cover they had were Brewster Buffalo's, CW-21s and H-75A7 mostly, but by far not enough to defend the bombers against the hundreds of Japanese aircraft. There's records that tell of groups of four fighters against 16 Zero's. You can imagine how that turned out. Bombers often had a fighter cover of around 2-4 planes, depending on how important and dangerous the mission area was.
great video as always. just throwing my idea out there. I know it's a civil plane but I believe that the Spartan Executive is the most beautiful aircraft ever created and would really like a video on it. keep up the great work.
Good stuff I got to show that B-10 in the Dayton Air Force Museum to an Argentinian friend who greatly enjoyed it--gifted back to the U.S. by Argentina
Damn, I wish the floats were in war thunder like I wish you could choose to either have landing gear or floats if so, if you want to, you can choose if you want to land in the water land for those few people that play naval battles and use the b10 naval you know I don’t know why I just want that or even the skis. You know I just want that come on war thunder give it to me.
A few years later, this would have been seen as outdated but when it arrived it was the vanguard of a new series of medium (for the time) bombers with modern (for the time) features. Armament was no less feeble than its predecessors though! A "stepping stone" if anything. A 1/48 kit would be great!
I may have already mentioned this story but , here goes again. In the Navy magazine Proceedings, I read the story from a Navy officer. There were B-10s at Pearl Harbor. Being 1940 they were considered obsolete. His job was to dispose of the aircraft. They were loaded onto a barge and towed out to sea. Holes were chopped into the fuselages with axes. This was done to insure the airframes would sink quickly. Then the aircraft were pushed overboard.
Glenn Martin was among a select group of US-based innovators of his day, including Bill Boeing, Tony Fokker and legendary polar explorer Bernt Balchen. So many hard-working and supremely talented men. It was Martin who perfected the previously unsolved 'secret' of making aircraft floats functional by overcoming the lift-sucking drag previous iterations of floats had suffered; simply by incorporating a wedge design still used today. Thanks for your presentation of fact-based aviation history.
I'm not sure about calling the B-26 Martin's "next" bomber (though it was the next Martin with a "B" designation). Weren't the Maryland and Baltimore bombers next after the B-10?
Very cool video, some stuff I never knew. The Maryland and Baltimore bombers had an interesting history too. The old Marauder plant in Baltimore is still around.
The crews of TWO Martin bombers of the Dutch colonial air force (ML-KNIL) managed to shoot down one Navy Zero each! Both crews were rewarded with the Bronze Cross.
Loving within good distance of the USAFM gives the great opportunity to see a lot of these aircraft up close. It’s interesting how many plaques say: “The last time any of these type flew, was to the museum”
I really enjoyed my visit. Several "Last of it's kind" aircraft. It's really a pity that they had to stuff so many smaller aircraft around the B-36 so it's impossible to get a good overall photo of it.
I visit the Dayton Air Force Museum often, and had the chance to bring a friend of mine who had lived in Argentina one time--he thoroughly enjoyed the B-10 exhibit, with its note that the plane was a gift from Argentina

Thank you for covering this plane it is one I've been aware of for awhile but I'm glad to get a deeper look at it! Keep up the good work!
I'm in desperate need of knowing how the B-25 and A-20 evolved and fought!
Can you cover the Dornier Do 11 please?
Can you cover the Curtiss BF2C Goshawk (Hawk III) plz
He 112!
Glad the army air corps eventually decided that pushing 200 mph is a bit nippy for open cockpits.
I think the Japanese and Italians didn't get that memo
It was the Pilot's that resisted the closed-cockpit.
@@bigblue6917 A lot of the old school pilots at the time very much disliked closed cockpits.
And to think, if they hadn't invented it, men might have been flying at supersonic speeds, up to the edge of space with nothing but a pair of goggles!

That was a truly epic episode on one of my favourite interwar aeroplanes. Incredibly well done… now about those Keystones..
A few years later, this would have been seen as outdated but when it arrived it was the vanguard of a new series of medium (for the time) bombers with modern (for the time) features. Armament was no less feeble than its predecessors though! A "stepping stone" if anything. A 1/48 kit would be great!

Great video,thanks
Very interesting.. Thanks
I may have already mentioned this story but , here goes again. In the Navy magazine Proceedings, I read the story from a Navy officer. There were B-10s at Pearl Harbor. Being 1940 they were considered obsolete. His job was to dispose of the aircraft. They were loaded onto a barge and towed out to sea. Holes were chopped into the fuselages with axes. This was done to insure the airframes would sink quickly. Then the aircraft were pushed overboard.
Love the videos mate
Well done as always, but i usually just skip over videos smaller than 30 minutes.
Glenn Martin was among a select group of US-based innovators of his day, including Bill Boeing, Tony Fokker and legendary polar explorer Bernt Balchen. So many hard-working and supremely talented men.

Good point. The difference between an A(ttack) and a B(omber) plane is pretty vague, especially in practice.
Yeah I should have specified a bit clearer, I was speaking more in terms of the "B" designation, apologies for the confusion.
This was really interesting and very enjoyable!
Great simple story I like it.
Ya gotta love the incompressable corigated sheet metal mounted at neck level betwween the cockpt and observers seat.
Very cool video, some stuff I never knew. The Maryland and Baltimore bombers had an interesting history too. The old Marauder plant in Baltimore is still around.
Great presentation thank you
Enjoying your series of interwar bombers very much.TFP
Great vid. Interesting aircraft.
Is it the only plane without a nickname? 🧐
1:43 "Fokker" im guessing but I was caught off guard and laughed my ass off.

Didn't know about the Model 146, did it get an engine upgrade to the 1000 or 1200HP Cyclone and were any ever built with the Pratt & Whitney twin wasp
Nice piece. The next Martin Bombers were the Maryland and the Baltimore, No? A segment about these would be great.
Thanks. I always liked the looks of the B10 . The 30's AC are alo a favorite of mine. I'm guessing the P26 was its protector?
Chinese B-10s were the first aircraft to raid the Japanese home islands (leaflet raids).
I'd love to see a video on the history of (machine) obsolescence in warfare. i.e.- Battleships, gun fighters in the air, Manned recon flights , ect...

Ok I learned something new today. I had never heard of the B-18 before.
What a beauty!
Yes please do the Marauder.
Keep em coming please!
Too bad there's only 1 surviving, but, now I have another reason to visit that museum !
My grandfather was one of the employees at Martin Aircraft Company that helped make the B-10.
Excellent.
Ah the good old days when expense was an issue for the US military
Today they simply drop the expense using bombers. Ask foreign war victims, THEY got the expense. The Americans got the profits, in the end.
Great stuff, not just this but all of your productions! Kinda ironic that the last remaining B10 resides at what was Wright Field, now The National Museum of The United States Air Force, Dayton Ohio.
Maybe not exactly ironic... surely this fine artifact's relocation to Dayton was in no way accidental!
But I would agree it is very appropriate :-)
Really enjoyable.
Very cool 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
