In 1950, Popular Science issued a cutaway drawing of the most exciting object to grace the skies to that point:  Convair’s B-36 Bomber.  At that time, it was the world’s biggest bomber. Its 13 man crew could ride at altitudes as high as 50,000 feet, the magazine noted. Here is a closeup of the cockpit …

Six turning and four burning... The Convair B-36 Peacemaker was the primary nuclear weapon strategic bomber of the USAF Strategic Air Command (SAC) from 1948 to 1959 (it started to be replaced in this role from 1955 when the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress was first introduced with all being replaced 1958-1959). The B-36 had a range of 16,000 km (10,000 miles)…

Die Boeing B-52 Stratofortress ist ein schwerer achtstrahliger Langstreckenbomber der U.S. Air Force. Boeing entwickelte das Flugzeug Ende der 1940er Jahre als Nuklearwaffenträger. Der Erstflug der Ursprunsversion fand am 15. April 1952 statt. In den 1950er Jahren übernahm der Bomber die Rolle der Convair B-36 Peacemaker und Boeing B-47 Stratojet zur nuklearen Abschreckung im Zeichen des Kalten Krieges gegen die UdSSR. Die Boeing B-52 – auch BUFF (Big Ugly Fat Fellow) genannt – ist das älteste noch betriebene Modell der Luftfahrtgeschichte. Auf ungebrochene Weise repräsentiert die B-52 die Ideologien des Kalten Krieges. Obwohl die B-52 in mehr als einer Hinsicht überholt ist, bildet sie nach wie vor und auch noch in den kommenden Jahren einen der Grundpfeiler der amerikanischen Abschreckungsstreitmacht. Sie wird, wenn auch mit hohen Kosten, kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt.

Only the cockpit of the XC-99?  Well, this plane was so freaking huge, we can barely show more than this. Based on a B-36 bomber, the XC-99–built by Convair–flew 7,400 hours over the span of about 10 years. Click to Enlarge to 786 x 742 px: Source:  Popular Science March 1951

A B-17 bomber that barely made it; belly landings can be catastrophic but this one is at least intact. Undated, no info on location. The B-17 was highly appreciated by her crews for her sturdy construction and her ability to fly even with a single engine in an emergency.
