Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Plastic Bubble
It’s the Martin Aircraft Gun Turret!
-one of the most destructive weapons of the war
Broomstick: Thrust a broomstick from the
window of a car doing 60 miles an hour and you’ll
have some idea of what aerial gunners were up
against before the advent of power-operated gun
turrets. With a wind of from two to three hundred
miles an hour pushing against their gun
barrels, accuracy was almost impossible.
FIRST: Realizing that lack of accurate defensive
fire made our bombers vulnerable, Martin engineers,
in 1937, developed America's first power-operated
gun turret, a hydraulic powered model
for the Navy's PBM-1 patrol bomber. Accurate.
responsive to the slightest touch, it mounted
machine guns. It’s doing a job for the Navy!
MUST: Then in 1940 General Arnold, Chief of
the Army Air Forces, proclaimed powered turrets
a "must" for Army bombers. Again Martin was
first to respond, introducing a completely new
electric powered turret. Mounting two .50 machine
guns. it is one of the war's most lethal weapons.
With it, Army bombers pack a potent punch!
3500: Blasting the Axis on every front, Martin
electric turrets are mounted on Martin Marauders,
Liberators, Martin Baltimore, A-20 Havocs,
a series of Flying Fortresses, Vega Venturas.
Allied gunners in Martin electric turrets have
shot down an estimated 3500 enemy aircraft and
are adding to the score every day!
MIGHTY: On bows and decks of Martin Mariners,
PB2Y4 Coronados, PBM-1's and PB2Y3's.
the Martin hydraulic turret is in action the world
over. German subs have felt its blast, Jap ships
set afire or sunk. enemy installations raked, Axis
aircraft destroyed. This accurate hydraulic gun
turret is one of America's mightiest weapons!
TODAY: The same engineering skill that produced
these great gun turrets, also gave America
the world's largest flying boat . . . the 72-ton
Martin Mars. Now in regular trans-Pacific service
with the Navy, this giant transport will soon
be joined by 20 even larger sisterships. She’s
the plane of tomorrow, flying today!
