The Martin TB-26 was the second designation given to a number of Marauder bombers converted to act as target tugs, replacing AT-23. The TB-26 used the same model letters as the aircraft they were based on, so the AT-23A, based on the B-26B, became the TB-26B and the AT-23B, based on the B-26C, became the TB-26C. The change was made early in 1944, so fifty seven trainers based on the B-26G became the TB-26G. All of the training aircraft had their operational equipment removed (including guns and bombing gear) and replaced with the C-5 tow target windlass and related gear.
