Warbird Information Exchange

I am putting together a gallery for the upcoming revision of the Martin Mariner entry in the Naval Aviation Resource Center. Any pictures of Mariners would be a welcome addition to this gallery. Please submit them to editor@REMOVEwarbirdsresourcegroup.org (remove the REMOVE before sending)

I'm also looking for any other pics of wartime naval types, expecially the less "popular" ones like the Mariner.

Thats a good point. Eventually I would like to create a Australian Resource Center which would cover aircraft used by the RAAF and RAN. So if you have Australian aircraft pictures I can use then feel free to send them in.

The RAAF had 12 PBM-3R's 1943-48....

Late in 1943, 12 Martin Mariners (PBM-3R versions) were lend-leased to the RAAF and were allotted the serial numbers A70-1/12. These transport flying boats were delivered without armament or search radar, and were modified for personnel and freight tasks. They provided long-range support for the RAAF during the island hopping campaigns against the Japanese. The Mariners operated in conjunction with the Sunderlands of No 40 Sqn, and they superseded the Empire Flying Boats and Dorniers in No 41 Sqn. In 1946, the Mariners still in service were placed in Cat D storage, and were eventually taken off strength in 1948.
