05/31/2008. Designed by Consolidated to US Navy specifications for a twin-engined patrol bomber, the sole XP2M-1 was built by Martin as lowest bidder to the contract. To improve performance a third engine was added on top of the wing, however it was abandoned in favor of the twin-engine performance. |
