The '''Martin-Baker MB-5''' was a British aircraft developed at the end of the second world war. Although it never saw production, it compared well with contemporary fighter aircraft. The contra-rotating propellers eliminated much of the disadvantage of prop driven fighters at the time, and provided good acceleration. | The '''Martin-Baker MB-5''' was a British aircraft developed at the end of the second world war.
