Nobody mentioned the B32. I saw a whole ramp full of them at Pyote AFB
in 1951 on the way to USAF basic.

Walt, I hate to do this, but the NMUSAF says you didn't. According to
their records, the last of the B-32s was scrapped in 1949. Which is a
shame, really. I *love* WWII-era aircraft, and would dearly love to be
able to see one of these in person. Here's the link either way.

Budd RB-1 Conestoga - twin engine ramp loading stainless steel
aircraft. A hulk exists at Pima. I saw one at Mines Field (LAX) as a
kid.

With a face only a mother could love, and even then it'd be a
challenge. Never knew about this bird before, so thanks for mentioning
it.

Fisher XP75. Mongrel abortion.

Now this little monstrosity I *have* seen. What a mess. They have a
version mostly restored in the R&D hangars down in Dayton. Not worth a
trip in itself, but it does share hangar space with the XB-70, so it
is worth a glance in passing. A fine example of how sometimes the
whole is less than the sum of its parts.
