    Man! I have spent the last two hours searching the net for this shot and can't find it.

    I am guessing it has 4 engines and it is in the reconnaisance class.

    Time for some hints Roy.

    Land or sea?

    2 × Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major radial piston engines
    2 × Allison J33-A-23 turbojets

    Problem with having to carry two types of fuel lead to fatality (test pilot) and loss of interest in the aircraft by the Navy.

    Ooops! Wrong. The C-123 had R-2800's and J85's. Definitely not a Navy plane.

    Good grief! Good one! Without typing in "Martin", I didn't find it in Google until the fifth page. Quite obscure.

    Did you know that this airplane started life as a BUDD CONESTOGA ? That's right, BUDD, builder of rail coaches and they built the Conestoga out of stainless steel , too. Few people know that the ME-262 is built out of steel also...... and a lot of wood.

    The aircraft is a joint development between Boeing and Bell Textron.

    Good shots! Good sleuthing.
    If you'll notice at the bottom of the 2nd and 3rd pictures I posted the A/P type is listed.:p:p

    Go to http://www.stormbirds.com/project/index.html if you are not already aware of their reconstructions. Just across the street from where I work.

    I was reading a pilots report about this bird. The engines were an absolute pain to run!

    This is interesting account of a defection.

    This is one of my favorite airplanes. Amazing piece of equipment for the era.

    I see that two of the aircraft are in flight testing. Have you seen them in flight?

    Good call on switching to the G.E. engines I think!

    The defection story is very interesting. Thanks for the info.
