Nice image. Where did you get this one? I don’t know anything about this
aircraft. It seems to be from the same era as the B-52. Is this an aircraft
that didn’t make the cut and was dumped in favor of the 52?

Thanks!

The YB-60 was a swept wing, turbojet powered follow-on to the B-36.
Note the similarity in the fuselage especially. Only one flew, and
the USAF chose the Boeing B-52 as its heavy jet bomber.

I thought it might e something of the sort.
