The airplane that begins to look rather unreal would be a bomber
version of the F-12 Rainbow. (About th emost beutiful airplane ever
built).

For those without a handy photo, think of a B-29, crossed with Flash Gordon's
ship. About the sexiest WWII-era aircraft I've seen.

PS, Pete, I have three very cool photos of it, if you'd like to see scans?
