[post_page_title]Convair B-36 Peacemaker[/post_page_title]
Don’t be confused by the name, this is most definitely a military aircraft. In fact, despite being called Peacemaker, this plane is a strategic bomber. Built in the 1940s, its first flight was on the 8th August 1946. Between 1948 and 1959 it was the main weapon and bomber that was used for nuclear purposes by the USAF Strategic Air Command until the Boeing B-%2 stepped in. Despite its misleading name, it was never in fact used in combat.
384 of these were produced between 1946 and 1954, making it also one of the most popular large aircraft on our list. It was also used for delivering nuclear weapons… Fun!
