The Martin XB-14 (33-162) was a version of the YB-10 powered by a pair 
of 950hp Pratt & Whitney YR-1830-9 Twin Wasps.  It was common in those 
days to assign a separate model number to aircraft which differed from 
each other only in the type of engine which powered them.  Only one 
example of this version was built.
