This is the coolest Bomber ever.

I know this to be true because I slaved away my youth on them for 7 years of my life.

Had a colleague, former B-17 pilot turned engineer, who worked on nuclear power for the B-36. Never made it to a flying prototype, but amazing stories.

Well, that is true. The Peacemaker carried no jet fuel. The turbojets burned the same avgas the  six big radials did.
