Title: Martin PBM Mariner

The Martin PBM Mariner, company designation Model 162, was designed in 1937 to a US Navy requirement for a new patrol flying-boat. The prototype first flew in 1939 but the aircraft type was eventually to be used primarily for air-sea rescue, ASW and transport duties. There were two main production versions, the PBM-3 using Wright R-2600 Cyclone engines of up to 1,900 hp, and the PBM-5 using the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engine of 2,100 hp.

This title contains three flight manuals for the Martin PBM. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages.
