The Convair B-36 Peacemaker was a strategic bomber designed and built by the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s. It was the largest mass-produced piston-engine aircraft ever made, and had the longest wingspan of any combat aircraft ever built. The B-36 was capable of delivering nuclear or conventional weapons to any target in the world, and had a range of over 10,000 miles without refueling. The B-36 was the first bomber to have intercontinental capability, and was the mainstay of the Strategic Air Command (SAC) during the early years of the Cold War. The B-36 was also notable for its six pusher propellers and four jet engines, which gave it a unique sound and appearance. The B-36 was retired from service in 1959, after being replaced by more advanced jet bombers such as the B-52 Stratofortress.
