With reference to 13.10.50 accident listed last time, we show Martin 202 c/n 9158 (two 2400 hp 18-cyl 2-row P & W R-2800-CA18 Double Wasp). As a training aircraft for Northwest Airlines it was the first to go into operation. Initially like the prototype without fin fillet or increased dihedral, it continued as a crew trainer and flew 5289 hrs, first as NX93037 and later when modified to production standard as N93037. The accident occurred when the starboard propeller went into reverse condition causing loss of control. The photo shows a demonstration of feathering the port propeller.
