Wow, i've seen made from scratch bombers before but this is really cool. check it out. it's a b-29 that actually launches an x-1 which goes really fast. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...bomber&pl=true

| If you do some more searching I believe you can find a video of that same B-29 breaking up during a slow roll. I seem to remember the wing folding just outside of one of the outer engines (I dont remember if it was outside 1 or 4 though).
