It was developed by Convair's Photoshop Works to test the feasibility
of creating a bomber with a range so short as to be unable to achieve a tanker evolution, thereby saving the costs and dangers associated with in-flight refueling. In eleven consecutive tests it failed to complete even a takeoff roll. The program was eventually cancelled due to budget surpluses. At least that's what my uncle told me, and he should know because he worked in Section 8. |
