Witchcraft, was the old Dragon and his tail.. She was repainted a couple of years ago.. She and the Nine O Nine was in Manchester NH this past week end.
No, the B-26 Marauder was known as the "Widowmaker" due to it's appalling stall characteristics, mainly on landing. This was due to inadequate pilot training, and a very narrow wingspan. However, Martin soon realized this, and revamed their training, and the "Widowmaker" became one of the greatest WW2 medium bombers ever!

Rode the B-24 All American out of Stowe Mass a few years back.What an experience that was well worth the 400.bucks.If you ever get the chance go for it.

My grand daddy was a tail gunner in one of those in WWII. Earned him 3 purple hearts. Twice in the leg and once in the arm.
