The one and only reconnaissance version of the B-49 to fly. It initially survived the cancellation of the bomber version to make 13 test flights. It was then grounded at Edwards AFB. In 1952 it made one last flight to Northrop's Ontario California factory where it was scrapped in 1953. Photo from: National Library of Australia
