Kmalu po vstopu v uporabo je zaradi številnih nesreč pri vzletu in pristanku dobil vzdevek "Widowmaker". Potem so uvedli aerodinamične izboljšave in ustrezno usposobili posadke, tako se je število nesreč precej zmanjšalo. B-26 je lahko tovoril največ 2600 kg bomb, vendar je bil pri takem tovoru dolet sorazmerno kratek. B-26 je veljal za enega najbolj natančnih bombnikov.

V letih 1941−45 so zgradili 5288 letal. Uporabljale so ga tudi Kraljeve britanske, Južnoafriške in Francoske letalske sile. Med 2. svetovno vojno so Marauderji v 110000 poletih odvrgli 150000 ton bomb, večinoma v Evropi.

Oznaka B-26 se kdaj uporablja tudi za precej podobni bombnik Douglas A-26 Invader.
