Air Force Plans
Extending Reach
Of B-29 Bombers
'Continued from Page One)
target.
It was learned today the current
plans contemplate equipping six
groups of Boeing B-29’s for aerial
refueling. In doing this the size of
the groups will be expanded not
only by adding the tanker B-29’s
but by putting more combat
bombers in each group.
The air force is described as
proposing to keep the composition
of a B-29 group at three squad
rons, but each squadron would
have 15 instead of 10 bombers.
The total number of bombers and
tankers in a group would be 65 in
stead of the current 30 bombers
only.
The air force announced that
fight tests of the six-engined B-36
will be completed about mid-De
cember.
The tests are being made from
the Fort Worth, Tex., plant of
Consolidated Vultee Aircraft cor
poration with a production model
of the huge bomber. The model is
fitted with six Pratt and Whitney
e:\g.nes developing 3,500 horse
power each on take-off. Earlier
models have used a 3,000-horse
power engine.
The new engines, said the air
force, have improved the B-36’s
performance, including rate of
climb, ceilings and speed.
The airforce has ordered 94
B-36’s, some of which have been
delivered.
