Yeah, Mark.The B-47 got things really going on the Jet bomber bit. That was in the days of the F-86, early 50s. I got a kick out of listening to the pilots talking about the F-86s asking to make combat passes for training. When they got tired of that, and had to get on with training, they'd just shove the throttles forward and go off and leave them. F-86s could never catch them.
I wish GEC had answered. I'm still curious if he ever built that B-47 model.
