My dad was in the Air Force from 1950 to 1954. He worked on the B36 bomber, also known as the Peacemaker. The B36 was used from 1949 to 1959. It was the largest mass-produced piston-engine aircraft ever built with the longest wing span of any combat aircraft. There are only three or four B36's left. We were lucky enough to get to see a B36 at the Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum in Ashland, NE. It is a very impressive plane!
