One and only Martin 3-0-3

Glenn L. Martin Company
Looking for photos of a Martin 3-0-3, N93162, c/n 9222.
I know she was a converted 2-0-2.
You can find loads of photos of 2-0-2 and 4-0-4 in the www – but …

3-O-3 1947 = 36-40pClwM rg; two 2100hp P&W Double Wasp. POP: 1 [N93162] converted from 2-O-2.

Information from the Aerofiles website. I would guess that there was no visible external difference, if only the engines were changed.

I think you are right as the main change for the 3-0-3 was that it was pressurised.

Something to do with your namesake?! Why do you keep looking for the almost impossible!:)

The 2-0-2 has such a classic prop shape…
I’m interested to know if there is a visible difference between the 2-0-2 and the 3-0-3. Ok? 😎
