From here we took a drive to the Everglades National Park (trying to do things in wide open spaces with a two-year-old that's bored indoors). It was closed but the drive was nice. My son slept nicely with his toy tractor on lap.

Is that the plane that , in WWII , was called the Baltimore [censored] , because of the small wing / high wing loading / high take off & landing speed ?

I believe that was the Martin Marauder. Confusingly, there were two contemporary aircraft designated A/B-26 due to changing naming conventions.

Firing must have given quite a view from the cockpit especially at night.
