The life raft in the B-26G was larger compared to those in previous variants, and a new modified hatch was introduced to accommodate it. A total of 893 B-26G Marauder bombers were produced, and they were used by several U.S. Army Air Force groups operating in Europe. Some of these aircraft were also in service with the French Air Force, known as the "Free French." The French Marauders initially fought in Italy and southern France, but as the Allies advanced in Europe, they were deployed in other regions as well. The final mission flown by French Marauder crews took place on April 25, 1945.
