In 1992 Malia Enterprises, Inc. published The Martin B-26 Marauder, A Bibliography and Guide to Research Sources, ISBN 1-877597-02-3.   This 184 document, compiled by Esther M. Oyster, Senior Archivist and John O. Moench, Senior Historian, contained twenty-three categories of data supporting B-26 Marauder research.

Due to the continuing requests for published information on or related to the Martin B-26 Marauder, the “book” section of the cited bibliography has been reproduced below with the addition of some select items brought into view since the 1992 publication date.  While the following list of items is extensive, it does not purport to reflect the full scope of published materials that serious researchers need to investigate to do a thorough job.

Research is an in-depth undertaking.  The idea that casual reading or a simple entry into the Internet will produce a researched answer of value is wrong.   To research the Martin B-26 Marauder and that of the associated men and women requires access to and study of a breadth of available data – some of which by category follows:

• The newsletters of Martin B-26 Marauder unit associations.

• The newsletters of companion associations such as those of the Ninth Air Force Association and the Eighth Air Force Association.

• The newsletters of associated civilian organizations such as “The Martin Star” of the G. L. Martin Company.

• Air Force and military base histories.

• Class books of Martin B-26 Marauder pilot schools.

• Class books covering bombardiers, navigators, engineers, gunners, ordnance, communications, intelligence and other personnel.

• Diaries, personal accounts and “201 files” of Marauder Men and Women.

• Military orders – especially those covering movements and awards.

• Both national and local newspapers (actual or clipping collections).

• Related articles as they appear in aviation and other magazines.

• Unpublished manuscripts.

• Memorials and related documentation.

• Substantive military and political background materials.

• Intelligence documentation to the extent it can be located.

• Archival records such as those held by the Historical Research Agency at Maxwell AFB, Alabama; the National Archives at Suitland, Maryland.

• Photographic evidence.  A good collection of related photographs is held at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum – copies can be obtained with a cost.  At the Imperial War Museum in England, a great collection of photographs was donated by the U.S. Ambassador to England – access is not now easy and there is a charge for copy.  The G. L. Martin Marauder Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, holds a good collection of G. L. Martin company negatives covering much of the Martin Company operation.  A very large collection of G. L. Martin Company negatives is held by the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum which collection is not now accessible and, by all account, is not about to become accessible to the public in any proximate time period.   Some photography is held by a diversity of U.S. and overseas military, media and other archives but much of it is duplicative of that held by the cited primary holding parties.

What is important for all researchers to keep in mind is that other researchers can and do make mistakes and to accept the writings and authorities of another writer without a verification of the data presented can be to add depth to an unwitting or intended distortion or error of history.  What is equally important for all researchers to keep in mind is that only by thorough research can they avoid adding to the record of historical errors.  Esther Oyster & John O. Moench
