Nope, read your history. There were 2 different planes with
the B-26 designation. The original was the Martin Marauder
that had a round body. The Douglas A-26 Invader was designed
as an attack bomber thus the A-26 designation. They had a
somewhat square shaped body.


Oh? What part of the history did I get wrong? Yes, there were two
different airplanes that were designated B-26, but they weren't both
designated B-26 during World War II. The B-26 of WWII was the Martin
Marauder, the Douglas Invader was designated A-26 throughout WWII. The
Marauder was out of the inventory by 1946, the Douglas Invader served
considerably longer.
