That is the nickname of the Martin B-26 Marauder.

I read that the B-26 was known as "the widowmaker". I also read that the unofficial motto of a B-26 training squadron in Florida was "a plane a day in Tampa Bay".

The B26 was known as the "Widow Maker". Your link even confirms that. It got it's name from it's tendency to crash on takeoff.

The B24 was nicknamed the "Flying Coffin" because of it's looks and it's inability to sustain the battle damage that made the B17 famous.

There was a similar thing going on with the P51 and P47. The P51 outclassed the P47 in just about everything but toughness. Pilots often said you wanted your picture taken in front of a Mustang but you wanted to go up in a Jug.
