Could you imangine B-32s over Germany in the fall of 1944?

| Ive always thought the B-32 and B-36 look very similar. If you look at pictures of the very first B-32's with their glazed nose and the very first B-36's glazed nose you will see they are nearly identical. As a side note the B-32 originally came with twin tails, this proved unstable. A B-32 was then tried with a B-29 tail and was also unstable resulting in the 19 or so foot monster tail production versions came with.

Country: | I have only seen pics of it with the B-29 tail and I think that is what makes her so unique.

Country: | It looks a little more "sane" with that B-29 tail, although I like the XB-32 with twin tails.
