88 years since the first flight of the Martin B-10. In fact of 348 B-10s that were built, only one complete airframe remains in existence. It is on display at the US Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio.
https://www.facebook.com/avgeekery/post ... &__tn__=-RGood morning Avgeekery Nation! Our eye opener this Sunday morning is the Martin B-10 bomber- flown for the first time on this date in 1932. The B-10 was the first mass-produced all-metal monowing bomber, but it was rendered obsolete quickly by Boeing, Douglas, and North American bombers during the 1930s.
