Martin P4M Mercator
The Martin P4M Mercator was a maritime reconnaissance aircraft built by the Glenn L. Martin Company. The Mercator was an unsuccessful contender for a United States Navy requirement for a long-range maritime patrol bomber with the Lockheed P2V Neptune chosen instead. It saw a limited life as a long-range electronic reconnaissance aircraft. Its most unusual feature was that it was powered by a combination of piston engines and turbojets the latter being in the rear of the engine nacelles.
Made by Glenn L. Martin Company.
The Martin P4M Mercator was a twin
engined patrol bomber that had a jet engine in the aft section of each
piston engine nacelle.3
