Glenn Martin B-10 (Model 139), books?

[Ruy Horta]

Thin paperback reads like an old Profile-booklet. Although I haven't been able to track anything conclusive using various search engines. There are some drawings on the net and a limited number of (poor) photos of the USAF Museum crate.

Quite surprising that this is such a difficult a/c, especially since it was a revolutionary design at the time. One of the first modern bombers.

Yes, I have the Hooftman books.

Read them when I was a pre-teen at school (late 70-ies), they were already 10+ years old back then, and recently bought the whole series (5 books covering the ML, MLD and ML-KNIL) at what I believed to be quite a bargain.

Problem is lack of detail.

A detailed set of line drawings would cover a long way.

Ruy,

Why not contact Gerard "Jerry" Casius? He is an expert on prewar ML-KNIL.
And if he does not have the answer he can give you the name and place of the person who does.
He is at the Sectie Luchtmacht Historie almost every wednesday.
If you do not have a phonenumber send me a private email.

Thanks Jaap.

Perhaps I may have spoken to Mr. Casius on a previous occasion, but I am not sure. Thanks for the tip, I'll send you a private note for that info.

Regards,

Hi;

I found the book I have on the Martin B-10, it is "Martin 139WAN" by Jorge Nunez Padin, printed by the Museo de la Aviacion Naval Instituto Aeronaval in 1994. It details use of the Martin B-10 by the Argentine Navy (it is a Spanish language publication, not my strongest second - or even third - language.)
Not a lot (unless you are interested in Argentine Martins) but the photo below was of a variation I did not realize existed - floats!

Does it contain any detailed line drawings?

[pstrany]

Sorry, only side views and a top view to show markings. I know I've seen a pretty good set of drawings for the Martin B-10, maybe in SAMI or a similar publication? The problem with having lots of reference materials is that keeping track of what you have becomes increasingly more difficult the more you get. I'll keep looking......

P.S. the drawing below comes from the aforementioned "Martin 139WAN"....
