The 47 was a medium bomber, and lacked the payload and range of the big boys. Cool plane though.

B-47: classic elegance.

The B-45 was actually a good-looking pre-swept design too. It is featured in War of the Worlds.

My father (an aircraft designer post-WWII) told me once: In that era, if it looked good, it probably flew well.
