Information
Features

A B-26 Marauder bomber crew typically consisted of a pilot, co-pilot, bombardier or navigator, and machine gunners manning the dorsal turret and rear position. In the European Theatre of Operations, B-26 Marauders struck strategic targets deep inside German territory - missions that became routine over time.

These combat missions were brutally demanding. Resistance over enemy territory was fierce and deadly. Long-range flights at high altitude, precise navigation, enemy fighter attacks, and relentless anti-aircraft fire demanded excellent training, tight coordination, and iron discipline. Combat losses were severe.

A pilot from the 320th Bombardment Group later recalled one mission: 'The anti-aircraft fire was extremely intense. Ahead of me, I saw a B-26 in formation take a direct hit. It broke in half as if it were a toy. Meanwhile, we seemed to be dragged through hell by a hurricane of flak bursts. Almost every B-26 in our formation was hit by fragments from anti-aircraft explosions'.

Despite the losses and hardships, the pilots of the B-26 Marauder carried out their duty with honour and made a worthy contribution to victory

- Four crew figures from the B-26 Marauder - two pilots, a bombardier-navigator, and a gunner
- Figures designed to be positioned inside the aircraft according to their combat stations
- Detailed recreation of flight crew equipment and uniforms
- Compatible with any ICM B-26 Marauder aircraft model featuring U.S. Army Air Forces markings
