This design has been inspired by B-26 "Flak-Bait" (449BS/322BG) Serial No. 41-31773.   "Flak-Bait" is a Martin B-26 Marauder aircraft that holds the record within the United States Army Air Forces for the number of bombing missions survived during World War II. During the course of its 202 bombing missions, Flak-Bait lived up to its name by being shot with over 1,000 holes, returned twice on one engine and once with an engine on fire, lost its electrical system once and its hydraulic system twice, and participated in bombing missions in support of D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge. The aircraft is currently with the National Air and Space Museum where it is undergoing a comprehensive preservation and reassembly process.
