FS2004 Northwest Orient Airlines Martin 202 N93221

Textures for Dee Waldron's Martin 202 available at California Classics. NWA purchased a fleet of 25 Martin 202s beginning in 1947. Disastrous structural problems led to the Martin fleet being replaced with the DC-3s. These textures depict Northwest Martin 202 about 1950. Textures by Gary Harper.

description=Rushed into production after WW2 the unpressurised 2-0-2 delivered from 1947 was poorly conceived, poorly timed, and badly designed. It had fatal structural faults and the thirty that did not fall apart in the air had to be remanufactured as 2-0-2As from 1949. Just twelve more were built from scratch to that higher standard in 1950. The original owners were Northwest Orient. LAN-Chile, Linea Aeropostal Venezolana and TWA. Martin Liners never recovered from the original loss of credibility, but with great care the unpressurised 2-0-2A was able to cruise 'fast' at low level when short hauling. Despite the fatal design flaws of the original 2-0-2 some of the modified aircraft, always subject to severe operating restrictions, had long working lives.
