One look at the bat-like lines of the USAFs stealthy B-2 Spirit bomber quickly confirms this. But that futuristic shape has lineage back to the 1940s when the Northrop Company designed and built the B-35 and B-49 models aircraft that closely resembled this 1990s flying wing version. Granted, the B-2 development program has had to endure a rocky road, but it is now here, and even though in smaller numbers than many desired, it will still present a formidable presence in the 21st century.

(Subject: Aviation - Post World War II ) A beautifully illustrated history of Northrop's amazing Stealth Bomber, the batlike B-2 Spirit. Developed using many of Jack Northrop's Flying Wing theories (and looking remarkably similar to the revolutionary XB-35 and YB-49 bombers of the 'forties) the Spirit has truly revolutionised the USAF's ability to project strategic power on a global scale. Four stealthy B-2s can deliver the same bombing power as thirty two standard attack aircraft backed up by twenty eight escort and defence suppression aircraft and fifteen tankers!
