The Birth Pangs of Portland ANG Base – Part II: Major Units Arrive
The Douglas Aircraft Company developed the B-18 to replace the Martin B-10 as the U.S. Army Air Corps' standard bomber. It was also used as a transport/support aircraft as the more capable B-17 Flying Fortress came into service. Portland Army Air Base received a single example in 1941. This Douglas B-18 Bolo is at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, painted as a B-18A serving with the 38th Reconnaissance Squadron in 1939. (U.S. Air Force photo)
