PB2M-1 MARS U.S. Navy Patrol Bomber- The Glenn Martin company got the “last laugh” in WW-II, The “Philippine Mars” still flies today

The Glenn Martin company got the "last laugh" in the seaplane

business as the era of seaplanes was coming to a close. Not only did they design the all time famous M-130 "China Clipper"

series, but also the largest seaplane to ever make it into the

Navy inventory. Amazingly the plane in this

photo still flies today in Canada.

PB2M-1 MARS U.S. Navy Patrol Bomber. A Seaplane Milestone… Rocket Assisted Take-Off. The "Philippine Mars" still flies today as a fire bomber. The Glenn Martin company got the "last laugh" in the seaplane business as the era of seaplanes was coming to a close. Not only did they design the all time famous M-130 "China Clipper" series, but also the largest seaplane to ever make it into the Navy inventory. Amazingly the plane in this photo still flies today in Canada.
