The Martin 2-0-2 was a low-wing, all-metal, twin piston-engined airliner designed and built by the Glenn L. Martin Company as a replacement for the Douglas DC-3, and was also known as the Martin Executive. It was unpressurized, carried about 40 passengers and was introduced in 1947, with its first flight in November 1946 and full civilian certification in August 1947. A fatal 1948 Northwest Airlines crash exposed a wing spar fatigue problem, the aircraft was grounded and rebuilt as the 2-0-2A, and only 47 were produced in all. It led to the pressurized Martin 4-0-4, and one example is known to survive in New Jersey.
