The Martin PBM Mariner was a patrol and bombing seaplane used by the US Navy during World War II. Designed for long-range patrol, anti-submarine warfare, and search and rescue missions, the PBM Mariner played a crucial role in the surveillance of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The PBM-5A version, represented by this model, was equipped with retractable landing gear, allowing the aircraft to take off and land on both water and conventional runways. The Mariner is renowned for its robustness and ability to operate in difficult conditions, making it an indispensable tool in maritime warfare.
