Martin Maryland

The Martin Model 167 Maryland was an American light bomber that first flew in 1939 and saw action in World War II with France and the United Kingdom. The Glenn L. Martin Company produced it as the XA-22 against a December 1937 Army Air Corps attack aircraft requirement, a twin-engine all-metal monoplane with a crew of three and a speed of around 310 miles per hour. The Army chose the Douglas DB-7, which became the A-20 Havoc, instead, but Martin won foreign orders and about 450 of the fast twin-engined bombers were built. The French service name was the Glenn Martin 167 A-3, and the type entered French service only in early 1940.
