	PBM Mariner
		The Martin Mariner was a key aircraft in long Pacific patrols, for scouting purposes and rescue operations for downed pilots.
		Mariners underwent rigorous preflight checks by a ground technician and then by the plane captain, a machinist’s mate who always flew on his assigned plane.
		The green glows reported in the Triangle are worth pursuing in the case of the Mariner since there is circumstantial evidence for them in the reports of greenish glows in the area.

	Martin PBM-5A
		Mariners sunk five of the ten submarines involved in the operation.
		The PBM's lack of landing gear became a liability, because it could not operate from the well-equipped air bases that had become common in the areas served by the type.
		However, the Mariner was not economical to operate as a civil aircraft and the Smithsonian Institution accepted the donation of 122071 in 1973.

	Martin Mars PMB-5 in Lake Washington
		Mariners built prior to 1946 were flying boats, and all that followed became amphibious with the addition of the retractable tricycle landing gear.
		Forty-eight years ago, Lt. Ralph Frame was taking the PBM from the naval station at Sand Point to a storage hanger at the south end of the lake to be mothballed.
		By the time the PBM hit the bottom it had completely flipped and came to rest in an inverted position..

	The Martin Mariner, Mars, & Marlin Flying Boats
		Mariners immediately quickly found themselves operating in near-war conditions, as the US was expanding the range and scope of naval patrols to help protect shipments of material to Britain against German U-boats.
		The Mariner was stripped down of all non-essential items, fitted with specially modified beaching gear, turned into the wind, and then took off from the dry lake bed, finally arriving in San Diego with no further trouble.
		From 5 to 7 demilitarized Mariners were used by a Columbian air transport company in the late 1940s, but the company folded after a year or so in operation, and apparently a handful of Mariners flew with US civil companies as cargo haulers for a time.

	PBM-5 Mariner
		Marin's PBM Mariner offered considerably greater military capability at the expense of increase complexity.
		Individual Mariners continued in Navy service to meet special needs for a few more years, the last one flying being a hydro-ski test aircraft.
		Mariners were also transferred and served with the COast Guard and several foreign countries.

	ch8-7
		Perhaps the most unusual feature of the PBM configuration was the gull shape of the full cantilever wing, with the engines located at the juncture of the wing break on either side of the hull.
		For example, the Mariner was 52 percent heavier and had 58 percent more power than the Catalina, but the two aircraft had about the same wing and drag areas.
		As would be expected, both the maximum and cruising speeds of the Mariner were somewhat higher than those of the Catalina, as was the value of the maximum lift-drag ratio.

		Richard Hoffman adjusts this perception in his book about the PBM Mariner, an aircraft equipping more US flying boat squadrons than the venerable Catalina and accounting for ten German U-boats during the Battle of the Atlantic.
		Mariner squadrons made a valuable contribution to the Battle of the Atlantic, sinking more U-boats than “any other land-based type of aircraft” (p.
		Although a former pilot of the PBM with many friends in the veteran community, Hoffman is not afraid to criticize the Navy for the Mariner’s shortcomings.

		Considering the role of the PBM, the Atlantic and Bahamas were considered ideal areas for training.
		That is nothing for a big Mariner, and it was considered average weather, with good visibility and ceiling.
		He was a crewmember of a U.S. Navy PBM Martin Mariner that left its Banana River base that evening for a routine night training flight.

	Martin PBM Mariner (D Llewellyn James)
		'Mariner', as it was eventually known, was all metal in construction, with a deep fuselage, a gull wing and twin tailfins.
		The PBM to a large extent supplanted the older Consolidated PBY Catalina, at least in front-line service, towards 1945.
		Some five-hundred Mariners were still in service during the Korean War in 1950-53.

	Rescue off China
		Forty-one Martin PBM-5 Mariner seaplanes were used by the Coast Guard during the 1940s and 1950s for long range Search and Rescue missions in the U.S. and overseas.
		The PBM was powered by two R-2800-34 18-cylinder Pratt and Whitney Double Wasp engines which produced 2100 horsepower each at take-off.
		Apparently some of these nine men escaped the sinking PBM but were captured by Communist Chinese forces and executed as spies.

		The U.S. Navy Martin PBM-5 Mariner patrol bomber Bureau of Aeronautics serial number 59172 or "BuNo 59172," (meaning "bureau number 59172"), was constructed in 1944 under contract for the Navy by the Glenn L. Martin Company at their Baltimore, Maryland facility.
		Delivered to the Navy in January 1945, it was one of the 1,367 PBM Mariners constructed by Martin).
		The two basic objectives of the exercise were (1) to recover the aircraft, and (2) to provide a marine salvage training evolution for Naval Reserve Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit Detachments, while ensuring maximum safety protection for participating personnel, and protecting dedicated equipment resources to as great an extent as possible.

	Martin 162A
		However, the rising tensions in Europe increased the need for maritime patrol aircraft, and the Navy decided to fund the development of the PBM without a full-scale prototype.
		Martin engineers did not consider the deviations from the 162 plans to be a significant problem because they were more concerned about the hydrodynamic qualities of the 162A's hull than its flight characteristics, which they could evaluate with wind tunnel models.
		Even after the unveiling of the 162A to the public, Martin kept details of the PBM program secret, and fostered the general impression that the 162A was a prototype for a new Clipper design.
