The first Boeing XB-47 prototype in flight, showing the first use of long, slim, radically swept wings.
The Setting
By the middle of WWII, both sides had brought newly developed jet aircraft to the battle. Probably the best-remembered
are the Luftwaffe's Me 262 fighters that Germany hoped would
keep the Allies from overwhelming the Fatherland, and Britain's
Gloster Meteors that were kept busy trying to bring down
the hundreds of V-1 cruise missiles that continued to fall on
southern England.
While the jets on both sides probably didn't really change the
trajectory of the war, it was clear that jets were going to rule the
future. But the fact was that the United States had no jet-powered
fighters or bombers in the war, nor did it even have a jet engine
program of its own.
The Jet Bomber Competition
Late in 1943, the Army Air Corps launched a competition for
the development of a medium-weight jet bomber. The program
would begin with paper studies, with the expectation of prototype
contracts to follow for the ones that looked promising. They would
bear the "XB" designation for "experimental bomber."
Four programs graduated from the paper-study phase.
North American led with its XB-45 "Tornado," followed by Convair
