B-25. B-26 was, 1st, the Marauder by Martin, then a completely 
different airplane by Douglas called, I think, the Invader. The 
Douglas B-26 was, IIRC, first designated the A-26, then its 
designation was changed to B-26 when the Martins were phased 
out.

I don't think there are any Martins left. A few Douglas B-26s 
are used as fire bombers at the moment.
