AG991 was operated by 75OTU. It was lost in a midair collision with another Baltimore over the Mediterranean on January 13, 1944. Photo from: Mike Campbell

This aircraft was built for the RAF, being manufactured under a USAAF contract as an A-30A, serial 43-8445. It was assigned the RAF serial FW289 as a Baltimore Mk.5. It was one of two aircraft retained by Martin for use in developing the Baltimore Mk.6. However, the Mk.6 project was ended in April 1944 whereupon this aircraft was transferred to the US Navy. The Navy assigned a new serial number, but retained the USAAF nomenclature and designated it as simply an "A-30". It was assigned to the Naval Air Test Center and mainly used to test new airfoils. Final disposition unknown. US Navy photo.

Algy Spurr Collection. Tracers getting a bit close for comfort... Baltimores possibly over Italy.

My father Algy Spurr took this photo of a Baltimore landing or taking off framed by the wing of what I think is a B-24. Baltimore 'L' of 55 Sqn RAF. Probably Mk V FW354/L (based at Biferno in Italy in April 1944). SOC 30.6.44.

Algy Spurr's photo of a Baltimore taken during an attack by the RAF on the railway bridge crossing the Bamano River near the east coast at Antimo, Italy on 23 May 1944. The line was cut in several places and the adjoining road bridge was broken in two places. (Date and location derived from AWM MED1868.)

Photo of my father's, Algy Spurr. Must be Italy 1943/4 - Awesome shot of Baltimores over the mountains. Any information on this photo would be welcome.

My father, Algy Spurr's photo. Must be Italy 1943/4. How awesome is this photo, you can actually see the bombs falling! Any ideas of exactly where this is and the Baltimore variant would be appreciated.

Photo taken by my father Algy Spurr in WW2. Almost certainly FA604 in which case it is Baltimore Mk.4 (Martin A-30A-5) c/n 4291 ex 41-28186 - SOC 19 July 1945. Location believed to be at Biferno, Italy. It seems to be a photo signed by 223 Sqn's crew: R.S. Gray (navigator) and three Rhodesians - S.R. Webber (pilot), R.E. Davison (WOP/AG) and K.G. Peters (AG).

Taken by my father Algy Spurr in WW2. Martin Baltimore over Italy (I think), not sure of the model. Any information would be welcome.

Taken by my father Algernon Spurr circa 1944 - Baltimore V - FW332 - R Redwing 232 Wing - base was possibly Cecina, Tuscany, Italy. This aircraft seems to have done many missions. Flown by 13 Sqn RAF, with red/yellow wheel cover (and triangle red/yellow emblem on tail, hidden on this photo by the wing).

Nice panning shot of one of a batch of 281 Baltimore IIIA bombers for Britain taking off. Deliveries of these began in August 1942. US serial of this one, 41-27783. The RAF used the Baltimore in the Mediterranean theatre. FA201 struck off charge on 29 March 1945. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution
