The Best American Plane to Never Fight XB 51
The Martin XB51 was a colossal bomber aircraft built in the late 1940s that exceeded all expectations and was probably the finest bomber that never went to battle. Not to be confused with the B52, one of the most famous aircraft of all time, the B51 s lifespan was too brief to be awarded an official nickname. Still, its unusually prolonged shape granted it the moniker of The Flying Faster than almost any fighter of its time, military experts believe the Martin XB51 could have made a substantial difference in the Southeast Asian wars, but it was never produced.
