The "Russian" bomber was a Martin Maryland, the only one I can remember having seen with German national markings.

Best regards,

Technically not a "Maryland", which was name bestowed by the RAF for their aircraft, but them all were "modified" (converted) for RAF use, thus had diffrent equipment and armament. I think this be ex-French Martin 167 F, used as airfield decoy, and there are what appear as He 111´s in the background, altho they may also be decoys. Nitpicking? Yes, truly so.

French service

A captured French Martin 167F at Aleppo, Syria, in 1941.

Facing a massive German arms buildup and desperate for modern aircraft, the French Air Force purchased U.S. aircraft of numerous types in the late 1930s. Martin received an order for more than 200 167 Fs which incorporated French-specific equipment such as metric instruments. French officials expected the deliveries to begin in January 1939 but the type, locally designated Glenn Martin 167 A-3 only entered service in early 1940. (Wiki)

Hello Ed (from the North)

I liked your Wiki references...
Our friend and fellow member CJE did publish an excellent article concerning the "Glenn" - as it was named in FAF - in Aero Journal N.38 & 39.

I do recommand it for who is interested.

Regards, Franck.
