The B-36 "Peacemaker," a strategic bomber produced by Convair and exclusively operated by the US Air Force, held the distinction of being the largest mass-produced piston engine aircraft in history. Featuring an impressive wingspan unrivaled among combat planes, it boasted exceptional range for long-distance missions targeting the Soviet Union. Crewed by 13 individuals, these noisy aircraft often disrupted Fourth of July celebrations with their low altitude flights, sometimes shattering windows and cracking plaster. The B-36's prominence was further solidified through its role in the Jimmy Stewart film "Strategic Air Command." This meticulously detailed model showcases various paint schemes from actual squadrons and features animateable elements such as turbines, flaps, ailerons, rudder, elevators, retractable landing gear, and landing gear doors. Additionally, it includes four jet engines in pods of two each and animated propellers. The B-36 was a crucial component of the Strategic Air Command, representing an era of aviation history marked by innovation and strategic significance.
