The B-36 was the largest mass-produced piston engined aircraft ever made and had the largest wingspan in a combat aircraft ever built (230 ft (70 m)), although there have been larger military transports. [1]

It’s still difficult for me to believe our aircraft, a B-36D, during the process of preparing to land at Lindbergh Field in San Diego California, could have experienced so many catastrophic problems just minutes before touchdown following a very successful test flight of many hours. [2]

Others believe he was only venting his frustration of having his goal of European dominance kept in check during the previous ten years by the U.S. Strategic Air Command and their mighty B-36 Peacemaker bomber. [3]

The Convair B-36 (nicknamed Peacemaker) was a strategic bomber built by Convair and operated solely by the United States Air Force (USAF). [1]

The aircraft, B-36D-25-CF 49-2661A, the 121st B-36 built at the Consolidated plant in Fort Worth, was originally a “B” model but had been returned to San Diego for conversion to a “D” model. [2]

On this page can be found links to many excellent websites that contain information about the Consolidated Vultee (Convair) B-36 bomber. [3]

The Army Air Force wanted a bomber that could fly from the United States to Europe, drop bombs, then return (combat radius) The prototype first flew on August 8, 1946. [4]

Sometimes a Convair maintenance supervisor would be included in a test flight to observe circumstances encountered in previous flights that could not be duplicated on the ground. [2]

A total of 388 aircraft were produced. [4]

In normal cruising flight, the jet engines were shut down to conserve fuel. [1]

The aircraft was considered to be in good operating condition and only our team of eight was aboard for its final test flight prior to transfer of the aircraft to the U.S. Air Force. [2]

The B-36 was arguably obsolete from the outset, being piston-powered in a world of jet interceptors, but its jet rival, the B-47 Stratojet, which did not become fully operational until 1953, lacked the range to attack the Soviet homeland from North America and could not carry the huge first-generation hydrogen bomb. [1]

All of the B-36s were delivered as or converted to “J” models, which had two jet engines added to each wing. [4]

I was the youngest on the crew, being just a few months younger than Roy Sommers, my good friend for over 40 years. [2]

During this period Japan was opened to Western influences in many ways. [1]

The silver-haired man is Yo*censored*atsu (lol; filter lol), the black haired woman (whom I call ‘Ai’, Ai means love) is the mother, Akane is the girl grabbing the butterfly, Azami is the other girl in purple and the one in red is the girl who grows up to become Fallen Woman. [3]

It struck me that in Minakami the younger generation is most horrifed by the ritual - Makabe thinks it’s odd but ultimately accepts it, while Kurosawa is hell-bent on carrying it out. [1]

Blood roses, blood roses, back on the street now. [3]
