Martin MB-2
(NBS-1)

The most notable contribution of the MB-2 was its use in the ship bombing trials in 1921. Flying out of Langley Field, Virginia, under the command of Brigadier General Billy Mitchell, the Martin Bombers sunk a destroyer, cruiser, and a battleship; and proved the worth of aerial bombardment.
