You just gotta love the B-26. She had a couple of sayings that went with her. "One a day in Tampa Bay" referred to the high rate of pilots lost during training flights due to the hot rod nature of the aircraft. Another nickname of the plane was "The Baltimore Whore" due to the small wing size it was said she had no visible means of support and they were built in Baltimore. A big thanks to the boys that flew these planes and to the ones that still keep the few left flying today.
