I flew the 36 and it was effective and intimidating.
It was rather slow but gave us time to get the B52 which is still very effective and will be for many more years.

One thing I love about the movie Strategic Air Command is all the footage of the B-36 and the B-47. It’s the only known footage I know of with a bunch of B-47’s flying in formation.

BTW, My father worked on the analog computer for the tail guns of B-52’s.

I heard the B-36, like the B-24, had a fuel leak problem in the fuselage.
