The US deployed Matador cruise missiles to Europe and then replaced them with Mace. With the arrival of Pershing 1 Mace was withdrawn. The West German Air Force received Matador but not Mace before getting Pershing. Was West Germany the only country offered these systems?

I'm stunned to find out that, unless several searches failed to work properly, there is no thread for the Martin "EGRESS" (EMERGENCY GLOBAL RESCUE, ESCAPE, AND SURVIVAL SYSTEM) capsule. This was a modification of the ejection capsule used on the B-58... fitted with a heat shield, de-orbit motor...

Looking for pics/drawing of the Martin Baltimore GR VI, a proposed maritime recce/TB version with a solid nose. Any help?

Hi, I know we spoke about this aircraft before,but I get a new clearer PDF and I prefer to open a new topic for it,with a clearer artist drawing. http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2140.msg110711.html#msg110711

Before the B- for bomber series was unified in the early 1930s, the U. S. Army Air Corps had run a series of parallel designators based on the size or mission of the aircraft: HB- for Heavy Bomber, LB- for Light Bomber, NBS- for Night Bomber Short-Range, NBL- for Night Bomber (Long-Range). The...

While researching some Martin aircraft, I came across this most unusual picture. Why unusual? 1°) It depicts a Martin Model 187 in U.S. marking. The "Baltimore", as the British called it, was never procured by the U.S. for their own purposes and the planned XA-23 prototype was cancelled before...

From the June 1959 edition of Popular Science, an article on the Martin Company's USAF Lunar Simulator project, basically intended to simulate conditions inside a long-term manned installation on the Moon. Among it's interesting features was the plan to eventually have it house it's own...

As stated in the companion thread on the Grumman G-132 design, "The 1955 CNO OR AS-040502 required an ASW flying boat with the ability to alight in the open sea, up to sea state 5, in order to operate a sophisticated dunking sonar, AN/ASQ6." This resulted in the "Open Ocean Seaplane" request for...

these from 'Air Force Legends' #201 'Martin XB-51' :- XB-51 with two-seat 'Tactical Nose' and XB-51 with external wing mounted stores........ cheers, Robin.

I haven't found a better place to share a quality portrayal of the Martin XB-51 Panther which I found on DeviantART. The authors of that pic have also derived a whole series of imaginary versions from it, as if it had seen service use in RCAF, RAF and USAF. Take a look at the gallery, it's...

From April 20th to 22nd, 1960 in Los Angeles the IAS (Institute of Arospace Sciences, one of the constituents of AIAA), RAND Corporation and NASA held a National Symposium on Manned Space Stations. Number of presentation brought there by companies and institutions was massive and I'm still...

Hi All! 1)Martin Model 234---XA-45 2) ? ? .................. That you can add ?

In the book "Douglas AD Skyraider" by Peter C. Smith (Crowood Aviation series) I found this info about AD-6 armament: Is it true? First time I read about Bullpup-armed Skyraider. I never hear before about it, never seen any pictures or anything. Maybe it's mistake?

Martin proposed an interesting concept for close air suport in 1952. The twin engined jet aircraft was designed for simplicity, short field performance, low vulnerabilty, high maneuverability and provision for a wide variety of different weapons, including side firing guns, as later introduced...
