Interesting Article for WWII Aircraft Buffs

[Drich]

I have been fascinated with the B-36 Peacemaker since I first saw it at the Air Force Museum as a boy. It was a year too late to see action in WWII and was rendered obsolete almost immediately because of jet fighters. I would love to have seen this thing fly, mostly because I love the heavy drone of large turboprops.

Next to a B-29:

that pic is missing the 4 jet engines the later ones had at the end of the wings... They must have had to have 2 refueling planes always connected to this thing just to keep it aloft.
