B-36 Peacekeeper

The Convair B-36 Peacemaker was an American strategic bomber developed during the Second World War but entering service after it ended. Its enormous wing and mixed piston-and-jet arrangements on later versions reflected the search for intercontinental range. It served during the early Cold War before jet bombers superseded it. Its six piston engines were later supplemented by four jet engines on major versions. The aircraft carried America’s nuclear deterrent over intercontinental distances before jet bombers replaced it. No B-36 flew combat bombing missions, despite its prominent role in early Cold War planning. Its intercontinental range helped shape American strategic planning before jet bombers assumed the leading role.
