(clarity - XF108 was killed off before the XB-70, but its mission intent was in a parlous state and had no chance of a "lazarus" once the XB70 prog was terminated. It did however end up spawning a few other developments including the A5/R5)"There is never enough time to do or say all the things that we would wish.

The Sovs also had a very sexy nuke bomber which didn't progress. (Moskalyov DSB-LK)
They did some interesting designs, even had one which was a dead ringer for an F4D (MiG-21LSh), and an F-111 lookalike (SU24BM) :)Last edited by gf0012-aust; 01 Jul 14,, 06:06.

And his wing man was, Captain John T. Godfrey

Not dead. We just have a unofficial "No Google-fu" policy on the quiz threads.
It really isn't uncommon for a question not to get answered.
Thats when the poster gives the answer , and a little background, and we all come out more knowledgeable.
Don't give up on the thread yet.
