The common thread to Boeing bombers was the word "Fortress", not really
anything related to the atmosphere.


Only the bombers ended up with the Fortress suffix. They also
used suffixes of "lifter" for cargo planes, "tanker" for the
KC-135, and I forget what they called the passenger planes.
Was it the Stratocrusier, or the Stratoliner?
