| Richard Servito Manila, OTH | There were only two Martin B-10 bombers of the Philippine Army Air Corps at Maniquis Field in Bo. Bangad, Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija before the airfield was attacked by the Japanese warplanes in December 1941. The other B-10 got involved in an accident on August 28, 1941 while at Nichols Field when an American serviceman boarded the cockpit and attempted to take off but instead went out of the airstrip and smashed four houses. 09/05/2007 @ 19:24 [ref: 17846] |
| Mike F , LA | There were three Martin B-12A assigned to the 15th Pursuit Group, 14th Pursuit Wing, Wheeler Field, Hawaii on December 7, 1941. I have seen a photograph of one and it appears to be in NMF (natural metal finish). 11/21/2004 @ 17:41 [ref: 8674] |
| Tony Feredo Marikina City, OTH | The 3 B-10s of the Philippine Army Air Corps were based at Maniquis Airfield in Cabanatuan, Northern Luzon. One of the B-10s was involved with an accident andtheother two had mechanical trouble when the war broke out.. 09/16/2001 @ 07:13 [ref: 3195] |
| George Eller Jacksonville, FL | 189 B-10 bombers were sold to foreign customers. 120 of these went to the Netherlands East Indies. These were flown by the KNIL (Royal Netherlands Indies Army) along with the Brewster Buffalo B339 fighters against the Japanese during the early stages of the Pacific Theater operations in World War II. 07/04/2001 @ 09:22 [ref: 2583] |
| Bobby , CA | The Chinese pilots of the Sino-Japanese War (1937-45) were the first to use American-made "all-metal" monoplane military aircraft in real combat. This includes the P-26 "Peashooter" and the Martin B-10. Information about pilots of Asian-ethnicity in combat are scant and half-assed at best. But I do know the Chinese Air Force commited the B-10 (along with fighter escort of P-26's and Hawk II/III's) in the assault of Imperial Japanese warships in Aug-Sept of 1937. The Chinese even flew an offbeat mission over Japan with a pair of B-10's bombing a few cities with leaflets(!). Like tit-for-tat, I think that Chinese B-10 mission over Japan should've been REAL bombs if you ask me. The Chinese pilots did indeed bludgeon the Imperial invaders on land, sea, and in the air with a rag-tag assortment of Curtiss Hawk biplanes, Polikarpov monoplanes/biplanes, Boeing P-26's, Gloster Gladiators, etc. Significant milestones in aviation history that are effective ignored for whatever bigoted reasons.
