Today we're looking at the Martin-Baker MB.5. This was a powerful, advanced prototype fighter that was developed during the Second World War. Some often refer to it as the 'British Mustang'. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, its development took too long to complete, and the type was never ordered into production.
