In the 50's a Navy plane took off in Australia and flew to the USA non stop & un-refueled.
What was it????
Maybe a PBY totally stripped and loaded with fuel cans?... I dunno.. just guessing.

B36? just another guess
Sorry, had to cheat on this one. If you've been to the museum at Pensacola you have seen it.

New question
The Russians at Stalin's instance did what with a captured B29??
There was an aircraft that was used by both the U.S. and Canada as submarine hunters in WWII. It was dubbed the "Bolo". What was it's military designation, who built it and upon what civilian prototype was it based?
Morning folks,
Sorry James it was not the B-36. Those were beautiful monsters that I could see going by out my high school window.
The later versions did have 1 thing in common with the plane in question.
In the early 60s I got my flight time in 1. Bounce hops to El Centro for take off & landing practice.
