There should be more strategic bombers with bubble canopies. RB-47 Stratojet, NMUSAF

A "Family Photo" of the full compliment of USAF aircraft in operation in 1956 over Gulf Coast, FL.

From top to bottom of the pic, from left to right are: B-36 Peacemaker, B-47 Stratojet, KC-97 Stratofreighter, RC-121 Warning Star,

Second row: B-52 Stratofortress, C-131 Samaritan, C-119 Flying Boxcar, C-124 Globemaster II, B-57 Canberra, B-66 Destroyer, B-45 Tornado

Third Row: F-94 Starfire, F-89 Scorpion, F-86C Sabre, QF-80A Shooting Star Target, T-33 Shooting Star, F-84 Thunderjet, F-84 Thunderstreak, RF-84 Thunderflash, F-86H Sabre, F-102A Delta Dagger, F-100 Super Sabre.

"In the center foreground of this 1953 hangar photo is the YF-84A (NACA 134/Air Force 45-59490) used for vortex generator research. It arrived on November 28, 1949, and departed on April 21, 1954. Beside it is the third D-558-1 aircraft (NACA 142/Navy 37972). This aircraft was used for a total of 78 transonic research flights from April 1949 to June 1954. It replaced the second D-558-1, lost in the crash which killed Howard Lilly. Just visible on the left edge is the nose of the first D-558-2 (NACA 143/Navy 37973). Douglas turned the aircraft over to NACA on August 31, 1951, after the contractor had completed its initial test flights. NACA only made a single flight with the aircraft, on September 17, 1956, before the program was cancelled. In the center of the photo is the B-47A (NACA 150/Air Force 49-1900). The B-47 jet bomber, with its thin, swept-back wings, and six podded engines, represented the state of the art in aircraft design in the early 1950s. The aircraft undertook a number of research activities between May 1953 and its 78th and final research flight on November 22, 1957. The tests showed that the aircraft had a buffeting problem at speeds above Mach 0.8. Among the pilots who flew the B-47 were later X-15 pilots Joe Walker, A. Scott Crossfield, John B. McKay, and Neil A. Armstrong.

On the right side of the B-47 is NACA's X-1 (Air Force 46-063). The second XS-1 aircraft built, it was fitted with a thicker wing than that on the first aircraft, which had exceeded Mach 1 on October 14, 1947. Flight research by NACA pilots indicated that this thicker wing produced 30 percent more drag at transonic speeds compared to the thinner wing on the first X-1. After a final flight on October 23, 1951, the aircraft was grounded due to the possibility of fatigue failure of the nitrogen spheres used to pressurize the fuel tanks. At the time of this photo, in 1953, the aircraft was in storage. In 1955, the aircraft was extensively modified, becoming the X-1E."

The B-47 is one of the prettier jets, and I don’t go in too much for jets. It’s graceful. National Museum of the United States Air Force.

B-47E Stratojet by Willard Womack Via Flickr: The last flight by a Boeing B-47 accrued on June 17, 1986. This B-47, after being restored to flying condition, made a forty-five minuet flight to Castle Air Force Base in California. There it was paced on display..
