The enormous B-36 was originally designed to bomb Nazi Germany from Newfoundland if necessary. Four auxiliary jet engines were added to the production aircraft which, though still slow, fulfilled an important role until the advent of the B-52.

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.
