		Martin's first big success came with the MB-1 bomber, a large biplane design ordered by the US Army on January 17, 1918.
		During World War II, a few of Martin's most successful designs were the B-26 Marauder bomber, the PBM Mariner and JRM Mars http://www.vectorsite.net/avmars.html#m5 flying boats, widely used for air-sea rescue, anti-submarine warfare and transport.
		Martin merged with the American-Marietta Corporation in 1961 to form the Martin Marietta Corporation, which subsequently merged with the Lockheed Corporation in 1995 to form Lockheed Martin.

		This was to be the Martin Mars, a 140,000-pound behemoth that was the largest plane in the U.S. military inventory until the arrival of the B-36 intercontinental bomber in 1947.
		The Mars was originally conceived as a "sky battleship" or "flying Dreadnought," armed with multiple gun turrets, capable of flying long distances with huge bombloads (and Marine paratroopers as well).
		Martin recognized this and began work on a 145,000-pound landplane using the same engines and wings as the JRM-1; the Model 199 was to have a floor level no higher than that of a truck.

		Martin, not having to bear the burden of prototype development, underbid Consolidated and was awarded a contract for nine machines, designated the "Model 120 P3M-1".
		Martin had built the three Model 130s at a loss in expectation of more orders and was forced to take a large writeoff on them.
		Martin continued test flights on the aircraft until November 1943, when the Old Lady was passed on to the Navy.

		The Martin Mars, the worlds largest water bomber, with a length of 120 feet, a wing span of 200 feet and a drop capacity of ONE MILLION liters (265,000 U.S. Gallons) of water during a single sortie (37 consecutive drops 5.9 hrs), it is truely an impressive plane to see in action.
		The JRM Mars was the production development of the XPB2M1-R. 20 were ordered the first of which flew in the summer of 1945, The fourth JRM-1 in summer 1946 and the fifth JRM-2 in the fall of 1947.
		The fifth Martin JRM Mars was installed with (4) Pratt and Whitney R-4630 (3000 HP) Wasp Major radials but was later retrofitted with the Wright R3350-24WA radials (2500 HP) to be compatible with the fleet.

		In 1938 the Martin JRM Mars was developed to be a long-range patrol bomber, but by the time of the prototype (designated the XPB2M-1) made its first flight in 1943, its role and designation had been changed to that of a transport.
		At the time the Mars was built it was the world's largest flying boat, though only six examples were ever built.
		In 1959 the largest flying boats to have ever served with the U.S. Navy were all sold to Canada for use as fire-fighting water bombers, where some still remain in use some forty years later.

		Martin continued test flights on the aircraft until November 1942, when the Old Lady was passed on to the Navy.
		The powerplants were upgraded to 2,400 horsepower R-3350-8 engines, the twin-tail was replaced by a tall single vertical tail, large cargo doors with electric hoists were installed under the wings with smaller cargo doors placed farther aft, and the internal layout was optimized for cargo and transport operations.
		Five more Mars flying boats were completed instead: the Philippine Mars, the Marianas Mars, the Marshall Mars, a second Hawaii Mars, and the single JRM-2, the Caroline Mars, delivered in July 1947 and equipped with 3,000 HP Pratt and Whitney R-4360-4T engines.
