Martin B-26 Marauder "Bonnie"

Tue May 26, 2009 7:24 pm

I'm looking for any information on this B-26 C Marauder, like other views and historical data of the aircraft. Once used to fly out of Honduras circa 1950.
The Reg shown in the picture is NL-1500M, but it was also known as NC66595. Poss S/n 42-107640. It was once an X Navy MJ-1 Marauder. Nickname "Bonnie" Photo via Don Felton.
Thanks for your help,
