The Martin JRM Mars is a large cargo transport seaplane intended initially to be used by the United States Navy during the Second World War. With four engines and a length of 35,74 m (117 ft) was the largest of the Allied flying boats. During its 3 years production run only 7 aircraft were built. These were intended to be used as long range ocean patrol flying boats, they've entered production as the JRM Mars long range transport.

The aircraft that survived the war were converted to firefighting water bombers and one of them is still used occasionally for fighting forest fires.
