Look how low the clearance is on the F-86 tank and how thin the tire is on the voodoo.

Also not the wing gear for the B-52 and the supercharger on a B-24

Funny how the B-18 looks so much more primitive than the B-17.

Looks like the B-18 would be escorted by P-26's but the B-17 looks just fine along Mustangs.

This is on the site of a B-52 base that closed in the 90's. I can see why they leantowards bombers. It's very interesting to see the evolution from the B18 to the B52

Excellent.

My vote for the prettiest jet bomber of all time is the B47
