Flying aircraft carriers - huge
bombers with fighter escorts tucked
in their fuselages-have been dis
cussed among military and aviation
industry officials as a means of pro-
viding long-range heavy craft with
protection over enemy territory.
These talks involve projects to
equip super-long-range bombers with
jet-propelled parasite" fighters,
launched and recovered in fight.
They point up the difficulties of de-
veloping single-place fighter planes
with the flying range of the big
bombers.
While the United States, at the
end of the war, had fighters able to
fly more than 1900 miles from their
base and return. the B-29 could ex-
coed that. And the Army Air Forces
now have two bombers, the B-36 and
the Northrop XB-35 Flying Wing,
with = range Of 10000 miles.
