"You'd find some argument with the B-24 crowd."

B24's could fly faster, higher and further with a greater bomb load than the B17's and dropped more bomb tonnage on the Germans. The Flying Fortress's name and a couple of movies grabbed most of the glory and fame.

If we are going to argue B-XX planes, my favorite was the B-25. Any bomber you can push off an aircraft carrier and bomb Tokyo has my vote.

The coolest plane ever invented, hands down is the X-29.
