Wikipedia: The
Martin XB-51 was an
American trijet ground attack aircraft. It was designed in 1945 and made its maiden flight in 1949. It was originally designed as a bomber for the
United States Army Air Forces under specification V-8237-1 and was designated
XA-45. The "A" ground attack classification was eliminated the next year, and the XB-51 designation was assigned instead. The requirement was for low-level bombing and close support. The XB-51 lost out in evaluation to the
English Electric Canberra which entered service as the
B-57.
Two were built - Both crashed.
