The massive six-prop B-36 bomber of the 1950's had lower wing loading
than contemporary jet fighters, depending on how it was loaded. It
could could often out-turn them, especially at altitude. Very
embarrassing for the jet jockeys.
How true. At altitude, I many times went into a high speed stall and
'fell out of the sky' while trying to turn with some ex 'fighter jock'
flying a B-36
