I know the B-36 never dropped a bomb in anger. But the B-52's were also a
fantastic peace keeping machine. The USSR never wanted to try them on for
size.
I'm a big B-17 fan, but the B-17 didn't scare the Germans or the Japs much at
all.
Of course they were slow learners.

Adolph Galland was quoted as saying he hated attacking Marauders with their
very tight formations, very accurate fire and experienced crews.
