 The '''{{Specs|name}}''', often referred as the 馬丁式轟炸機 (Martin Bomber), was the export version of Martin B-10 bomber for the NRAAF in 1936. As part of the 50th birthday cerebration of Chiang Kai-Shek's fundraising campaign, some of the funds raised were taken as the fund to purchase nine Martin 139W bombers to strengthen the NRAAF; these aircrafts were in service alongside with some He 111A series and SM.72 during the early days of the total outbreak of Sino-Japanese War but with minimal efficiency. The most famous operation carried out by Martin 139WC was the propaganda leaflet "bombing" to Kyushu on 20th May, 1938 with the help of long-range radio and US instructors, 4 years before the Doolittle Raid on April 1942; as the bomber was already obsolete and new Soviet/US-built bombers arrived in China, the Martins were soon phrased out and left as training aids for bomber crews as late as 1945.
-Introduced in [[Update 1.91 "Night Vision"]] with the Chinese tech tree, although having a rather peculiar aerodynamic design like a boat and less than desired self-defense firepower, Martin 139WC can still prove its worthiness with up to 600 kg bombs at its tier and deliver destruction to enemy stationary targets.

-Records showed that ROCAF purchased Martin 193WC in 1936; irony enough, it was in fact the fastest aircraft on Chinese soil which was at the time mostly biplanes. They did served as the part of the ROCAF bomber forces and joined the (chronologically) very first Mainland Japan bombing in 1939 where two bombers took off from Hankou (now a district of Wuhan City) and dropped propaganda leaflets over Kyushu Island of Japan via Ningbo (which was still under Nationalist control as in 1938) in 1938/5/19. The crew returned safely at Nanchang at 20th; but any further records of Martin 139BW in Chinese Theatre were sparse.

-The Army owned the rights to the Model 139 design. Once the Army's orders had been filled in 1936, Martin received permission to export Model 139s, and delivered versions to several air forces. For example, six Model 139Ws were sold to Siam in April 1937, powered by Wright R-1820-G3 Cyclone engines; 20 Model 139Ws were sold to Turkey in September 1937, powered by R-1820-G2 engines.
