Stratojet  High

The first B-47A flew on June 25, 1950.
It took another year to deliver all ten B-47As on the
order.
The B-47A was powered by six 5200 lb. static
thrust J47-GE-11 turbojets and retained the built-in
JATO feature of the prototypes.
It increased takeoff weight from 121,080 pounds to
151,324 pounds.
The B-47A was essentially a service test version of
the XB-47, and was essentially identical to the
XB-47 prototypes.
They were both test and training models for the Air
Force  .

The Valiant Trio Return

By the end of the Second World War, RAF Bomber
Command was in the process of re-equipping with
the Avro Lincoln four-engined heavy bomber,
derivative of the famous Lancaster. The thinking
within the Air Ministry at the time still focused
around a heavily armed and unpressurised bomber
capable of striking deep into the heart of enemy
territory, but the arrival of the Nuclear Age with the
jet engine and the Vickers Valiant quickly changed
all that..  
Darts in the Sky

The F-106 emerged from the USAF's 1954
interceptor program
of the early 1950s as an advanced derivative of the
F-102 Delta Dagger
known as the F-102B, with which the United States
Air Force
placed an order for in November 1955.
The aircraft featured so many modifications and
design changes that it basically became a new
design in its own right
and was redesignated F-106 on 17 June 1956.
