Although not very succesful, the Tornado was America's first operational jet bomber. This is one of only three surviving B-45s.

The B-23 Dragon was a much-improved variant of the B-18 Bolo. The last 38 B-18s on order were built as Dragons in 1939-40, but never used in combat. This one saw use as a UC-67 transport.

A very attractive recent restoration. I have written to the Museum to try to obtain the real identity, as the one displayed is probably false, but without a reply. It is ex Danish Air Force F-977 and thus 51-5977
