	XB-51
		Martin decided that a turbojet version of the basic XB-51 was the best configuration to satisfy the military characteristics that had been finally approved.
		Martin's letter contract of May 1946 was superseded on 1 November 1949 by a formal contract of the cost plus fixed fee type.
		Martin test pilots flew the aircraft 125 hours, accumulated in 168 flights; the Air Force put in 26 hours, presumably reached in 25 flights.

	Martin XB-51 by Phil Brandt (Execuform 1/72)
		Martin's three-engined XB-51 tactical bomber was one of the "hottest" and most admired designs to come off the drawing boards immediately after WW II.
		But politics, as so often enters Air Force buying decisions, dictated that, instead, the slower but proven English Canberra be built by Martin under license as the B-57.
		Ungainly on the ground, with its prominent, fuselage-mounted jet pods, its tiny wings, rotary bomb bay and bicycle landing gear, it became a whole new airplane when airborne.

	The Martin SeaMaster & Convair Sea Dart
		Martin tried to promote other seaplane designs, such as an eight-engine airliner version of the SeaMaster that was informally called the "SeaMistress", but the writing was on the wall.
		Martin formally abandoned the aircraft business to focus on missiles and defense electronics.
		The Martin design team was led by George Trimble, an aeronautical engineer who as head of the Martin advanced design department; J.D. Pierson, a hydrodynamicist; and J.L. Decker, a aerodynamicist.

		Martin GMP [AS62951] (George Dettling coll via Rob Osborne)
		This is a Martin landplane, possibly later known as Martin R. Glenn Martin used a seaplane version of the aircraft to make a record flight to Catalina Island on 5/10/12.
		I agree that the lad in the center of the picture is Don Douglas, but he wasn't hired by Martin until 1915, then only designed one aircraft for them, Model S, before leaving in Nov 1916 to accept a position as chief civilian aeronautical engineer for the Army Signal Corps.

	THE MARTIN RB-57A IN SERVICE WITH USAFE.
		The order for 250 license built Canberras was awarded to the Martin company, partly in compensation for the rejection of their XB-51.
		The B-57B was designed as a light bomber and one of the special features that Martin introduced on this model, which it also retrospectively fitted to some of the RB-57A's, was the rotating bomb bay.
		It must finally be noted that the Martin Canberra in it's many variants proved to be every bit as good as it's early promise had foretold; flying with distinction with the U.S. Air Force for three decades in a variety of roles.

	Martin EB-57
		Martin incorporated some of the advanced features utilized on the unsuccessful XB-51, such as a rotary bomb bay that was detachable for loading, which could greatly reduce turnaround time on bombing missions.
		On March 24, the USAF issued a contract to Martin to license-build the Canberra in the United States under an agreement with English Electric rather than spend years and limited resources attempting to improve on an already suitable design.
		To this end, the service depended on a fleet of older, but proven, medium bombers, such as the Douglas B-26 Invader (see NASM collection) and the Martin B-57 Canberra, which frequently served in the reconnaissance and night attack roles during the conflict.
