In the late 40s, when Northrop was building the YB-49 jet powered flying

remember seeing a promo film about it, which can probably be found floating
around the web somewhere.

Would that be this one?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR7gepoAf4E

Those are the military versions. The one I'm talking about is a ~10 min.
promotional film put together by Northrop, using the civilian airliner mockup
and showing off the "advantages" of the flying wing airliner of the future.

I might have it somewhere in my archives. If I locate it, maybe Jay can
host it on his site.
