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...

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

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...

Hello folks,
Pardon me if this is old news, but there's an interesting article on Noel Pemberton-Billing’s 'slip-wing' composite nightfighter and bomber designs at:

Sometimes projects make themselves discovered in very unlikely places. Last Friday I was in Rome at the Italian Air Force historical archives doing research for my book. On the same table there was my friend Paolo Miana looking for infos on the Italian giant bombers of late 20s -early 30s...

Hi, I'm looking for some info (line drawings, specifications) on the Vickers Victory and jet bomber designs of late WW2. The victory was a 6 engined evolution of the Wellington and the 'Jet Bomber' was the intermediate stage on getting to the Valiant. I already have some very high level info...

Curious to know if Concorde was ever considered in a military role, maybe as a recce aircraft or cruise missile platform?
Would this have been feasible?

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...
I woul like to know something about the kinfish proposal for a strategic recon aircraft (in the competition won by the lockheed a-12) and about the super hustler design.
Unfortunately the only information i foud are in Russian (quite strange for united states secret projects)...
Ok, I know that this plane figure in cover (and in detail!) in Tony buttler book, but I haven't got this book and need some details on this monster. Just performances, weight dimensions and a 3-view drawing would be cool.
In what context was this project developed ? Did the RAF seriously bite...
