The first was the Martin B-26 Marauder. Also known as the Baltimore

And you've got two aircraft mixed up

Martin A=30 Baltimore was a export/lendlease only light bomber originallky designed to a French order, later supplied mainly to RAF.

Martin B-26 Marauder was the later medium bomber you are thinking about, which nobody wanted to fly.

Actually I was referring to the Marauder being nicknamed the “Baltimore Whore” (no visible means of support, due to the short wings), not just the “Baltimore”
