Historical background and use

The Martin 167 Maryland aircraft was developed by the American Glenn L. Martin Company, making its first flight in 1939. Although the aircraft was initially not purchased by the USAAC, it found use in the European air forces – mainly France and the United Kingdom. As a light support bomber, Marylands entered service with the French Air Force at the end of 1939, and after the capitulation of France, many of the aircraft were incorporated into the Royal Air Force and South African Air Force, primarily seeing action in the Middle East and North Africa until 1943. The Maryland aircraft took part in, among other things, reconnaissance missions and bombing German positions.
