Historical facts and context of use

The Martin B-10 was one of the most advanced bombers in the world at the turn of the 1930s, featuring an all-metal construction, retractable landing gear, and gun turrets. The first units entered service in the USA in 1934, quickly becoming the basis for export versions. The WH-2 version was ordered by the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army Air Force (ML-KNIL) for operations in the Dutch East Indies, while the WAA version was delivered to the Argentine Air Force. The aircraft took part, among others, in defensive fighting on Java during the Japanese offensive in 1942.
