MARTIN B-26G
The B-26G was the last production model of the series. A total of 893 B-26G combat-ready aircraft were built along with 57 TB-26G crew training aircraft (950 total). The RAF received 150 G models along with 200 B-26Fs, which were all designated Marauder III.
Externally, the B-26F and B-26G were identical. The only way to distinguish these two models is by serial number. Interior equipment on the B-26G was standardized and accounts for most of the differences with the F model.
The last of more than 5,000 B-26s built (all types) was delivered on March 30, 1945, and named Tail End Charlie "30."
The museum has a B-26G on display in the Air Power Gallery.
