I've had a fascination about the B-36 since my childhood in the mid-1950s when I used to hear the roar of Peacemakers flying high over central Louisiana. Unfortunately, the B-36 wasn't part of the many air shows I attended at England Air Force Base, primarily a TAC base at that time. My interest was furthered when I saw the B-36 "City of Fort Worth" on display at Amon Carter Field in the early 1960s. My interest in the airplane continues to this day.
This web site is meant to be a tribute to those who designed & built the B-36, the crews who flew her, and those who have worked tirelessly to preserve this incredible airplane and its history. I also respect the efforts of the officers and airmen of the Strategic Air Command (SAC) and the job they performed in maintaining the peace during the Cold War.
This site is really just an accumulation of the information I have amassed in learning more about the B-36 over the years: my favorite links, photos, etc. Many have already done a tremendous job in documenting the airplane in great detail on the Internet, both in text and pictures, and I will not attempt to recreate the work already done. I have links established to some of the B-36 sites I frequently visit.
Thanks to the U.S. Air Force and the Air Force Museum for the images used on this web site.
