    Martin XB-51 Artwork

    I haven't found a better place to share a quality portrayal of the Martin XB-51 Panther which I found on DeviantART. The authors of that pic have also derived a whole series of imaginary versions from it, as if it had seen service use in RCAF, RAF and USAF. Take a look at the gallery, it's...

    Unbuilt XB-70 projects and variants

    Here you go you, folks! Looking for art of the Convair shuttle for Orion and I found this. It's a good imagining of many uses for the XB-70 IF it hadn't stayed a prototype. Enjoy! ;D http://www.edwardsflighttest.com/b70.html

    RAF Boeing Washington B.1 (B-29) with Grand Slam bombs

    I've looked thru every B-29 book I have or have seen & Googled with no luck. I've read that some of the B-29s sent to the RAF were equipped with racks at the wing roots to carry a Grand Slam bomb under each wing. ISTR also that some USAF a/c were modified as well. I've not been able to find pics...

    Browsing in the NASA technical reports I found a score of wind-tunnel tests regarding a supersonic cruise bomber that seems linked to some unknown B-70 follow on specification from late '50s (report is from 1961). Some photographic reproductions of the models are practically unviewable, but...
