@flakmagnet0: Convair B-36 Peacemaker — To this day it remains the largest bomber ever built and put into operational service. With six massive piston engines and four jet engines, the B-36 was so complex that crews joked: “Six turning, four burning, two unaccounted for.” Really, it was Cold War giant built to carry nuclear weapons across continents, the Peacemaker was a flying fortress that pushed the limits of aviation. #aviation #aviationtok #History #historytok #coldwar
It was absolutely criminal that the person in charge straight out lied about the performance of the YB35 to get the B-36 approved, then ordered ever single 35 destroyed. The YB-49 was even better, one test pilot stating it handled like a fighter.

Not many bombers can make a b-29 look tiny

From the 1955 movie "Strategic Air Command". Actor Jimmy Stewart starred and was qualified on the B-36.

When I was 12 years old I was having breakfast when everything started to shake and I hear the roaring sound of a plane! I rushed outside and saw a B36 fly right over my house! I will never forget that moment!

The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Ohio has a Convair B-36J Peacemaker in its Cold War Gallery. There's also an XB-70 and a B-52 at the museum.
