On Mark Engineering

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On Mark Engineering was an aircraft remanufacturing company established in 1954 at Van Nuys Airport in California. Its most significant products were rebuilding military surplus A-26 Invaders into executive transports - the Marketeer with an unpressurized fuselage and the Marksman with fuselage pressurization. On Mark converted Douglas B-26s into B-26K Counter-Invaders (later redesignated A-26A) for counterinsurgency missions with the USAF. On Mark also undertook conversion work of a Boeing 377 Stratocruiser into the prototype Pregnant Guppy for Aero Spacelines.
