The Boeing B-50 Superfortress strategic bomber was a post WWII revision of the Boeing B-29_Superfortress" with more powerful engines R4350, larger tail and external fuel tanks on the wings. B-50 had a higher rate of climb, service ceiling, larger bomb load and longer range that the earlier superfortress. It incorporated enough new elements to deem it an all new aircraft- retaining just 25% of the B-29’s original components. B-50 bomber provided the USAF Strategic Air Command with powerful conventional bomber that could double as a nuclear deterrent in the face of the expanding Cold War. It saw service in several variants with combat and other units of the US Air Force from 1947 through the 1950s. It was withdrawn from service beginning in the mid 1950s. It had a crew similar to the B-29.
