The Martin PBM Mariner was a patrol bomber and transport flying boat that was used by the United States Navy, the Royal Air Force, and the Royal Australian Air Force, during World War II. It could be armed with eight 12.7mm machine guns and could carry 8,000 pounds of bombs and depth charges in its bomb bay or two torpedoes under its wings. Manufactured in several variants, this photo shows one of the twelve Martin PBM-3R Mariners that were used by the No. 41 Squadron of the Royal Australian Air Force, from 1943 to 1946. Twenty-seven Martin PBM-3 Mariner GR.Is were supplied to the No. 524 Squadron of the Royal Air Force, in 1943, but these were transferred to the Royal Air Force HQ Transport Command, after the squadron was disbanded, after several months. After World War II, the United States Navy and the United States Coast Guard used Martin PBM Mariners for rescue duties, and some of them were given to the Uruguayan Navy, the Argentine Navy, and the Netherlands Navy. |
Based on the Vickers Vimy strategic bomber, the Vickers Vernon was used by the Royal Air Force, as a transport, from 1922 to 1927. This photo shows a Vickers Vernon, from Royal Air Force No. 208 Squadron, in Egypt, during 1922. |
