Re: The Northrop B-35 was difficult to defend

Take a look at LIFE magazine in 1952.
Scroll to the heading " WHY ARE WE LOSING AIR SUPREMACY".
Read about the problems with the B-47.

I've had a few chances to talk to B-47 aircrew about the aircraft, and they all a long list of things they didn't like. But, in the early days, it was the fastest thing around, and they would put up with a lot for that.
