The English Electric Canberra beat the futuristic Martin XB-51 in a 1951 USAF contest, and was then built by the same US company as the B-57. EB-57Es were electronic warfare aggressor aircraft converted from B-57E target tugs. This photo is copyright © Peter de Jong, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
