The US Naval reserve’s Fart smella of a plane

The Martin AM Mauler (originally XBTM) was a single-seat carrier-based attack aircraft built for the United States Navy. Designed during World War II, the Mauler encountered development delays and did not enter service until 1948 in small numbers. The aircraft proved troublesome and remained in frontline service only until 1950, when the Navy switched to the smaller and simpler Douglas AD Skyraider. Maulers remained in reserve squadrons until 1953. A few were built as AM-1Q electronic-warfare aircraft with an additional crewman in the fuselage

Sorry for the delay folks,
I had to focus on my school work,
That’s why I didn’t upload much.

Anyways this plane was made during ww2 but only came in the navy around 1948, most of these planes were sent to the naval reserve. It had a pretty bad rep in the navy, it even earned itself the nickname “Awful Monster”.

Also this plane flew over the White House during Truman’s inauguration ceremony
