Incredibly cool. I wonder if that was what provided some partial inspiration for Star Wars B-Wing design?
The text states that it was designed with the desire to remain airborne for weeks at at a time. I wonder about the ability of the aircrew to do such.
if they had the space and diversions aboard a nukey boat, it would have been doable. couldn't see it in a steup like a b52 or b1. sleeping on an air mattress and eating box lunches.....? wish that was 1/72.
