The B-36 is largest, most powerful piston-engined bomber ever built. Originally was designed to take off from the Continental United States and bomb targets in Germany, before returning to the United States, without once refuelling. The lack of any need for this aircraft led to it's development being delayed until the end of WWII, where work was resumed due to the rise of the Soviet Union as a rival power bloc.
