The Mariner prototype airplane was first flown on February 18. 1939. Produced in considerable numbers and several versions, the Mariner was to see service primarily in air-sea rescue, anti-submarine warfare, and transport roles. The PBM-3D was powered by two 1,900-hp Wright R-2600-22 Cyclone radial piston engines, giving the airplane a maximum speed of 211 mph at 1,500 feet, service ceiling of 19,800 feet, and a range of 2,240 miles. Airplane armament was eight 50-caliber machine guns in nose and dorsal turrets and in waist and tail positions, plus up to 8,000 lbs of bombs or depth charges.

The U.S. Navy Martin PBM-5 Mariner patrol bomber Bureau of Aeronautics (Bureau Number 59172) was one of the 1,367 PBM Mariners constructed by Navy Martin. It was delivered to the Navy in January 1945.

During the World War II and Cold War eras, the PBM-5 Mariner was in service with various Navy units in a number of capacities. Its last operational assignment was Naval Air station, Seattle, Washington in late 1948.
