Aircraft History Built by Martin as 139W the export version of the Martin B-10 bomber. Purchased by Argentina for use by the Army Aviation Service. When retired from military service, used for training until the 1960s. Later, used as a static training aid at Jorge Newberry National School of Technical Education, No. 1 in Buenos Aires for engineering students. In the late 1960s, the National Museum of the United States Air Force (USAF Museum), was seeking Martin B-10 bomber for the collection and learned of this surviving aircraft. During 1970, the Argentina government donated the incomplete bomber to the United States and was shipped from Buenos Aires to the United States in to the U.S. Government in a formal ceremony attended by the U.S. Ambassador to Argentina. Restoration Between 1973 to 1976 restored by the U.S. Air Force (USAF) 96th Maintenance Squadron (Mobile), Air Force Reserve at Kelly Air Force Base (Kelley AFB) in Texas. Display Since 1976, displayed at the National Museum of the United States Air Force (USAF Museum) in the Early Years Gallery. Painted in the markings of U.S. Army Air Corps (USAAC) B-10 bomber nose number 146 used during a 1934 on a round trip flight from Bolling Field to Fairbanks a 8,290 mile round trip.
