Martin XNBL-2
The Martin XNBL-2 was a 1920s monoplane night light bomber proposal by the Glenn Martin Company for the United States Army Air Service. Two prototypes were ordered in 1922, but cancelled before construction began because the Army General Staff was not in favor of monoplane aircraft. [1]
