The iconic B-26 Marauder was a well-known aircraft used throughout WWII, built by the Glenn L. Martin Company. Its ties to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, are extensive. There was a tragedy at MacDill AFB, with the phrase “One a Day in Tampa Bay” mumbled throughout air bases around the country, referring to issues the B-26 had, which caused a high fatality rate for the new bomber crews.
