History

The Maroto C-5 was built by the Maroto Aircraft Company to serve as a mail transportation aircraft. While it was intended to be the successor of the Maroto C-4, it was the first aircraft built by Maroto Aircraft to not be developed directly from the Maroto Nube. Production was canceled before it could before the outbreak of the Creeperian Civil War in 1933. The sole prototype was scrapped in 1934.
