I always did like the B-32, however it was pretty much a flop.

The B-32 program was kept alive in case the B-29 program failed.  The B-29 program did not fail and we have the B-29 in AH.  If we ever have a scenario where we desperately need a B-32, the B-29 makes a great stand in as their performance and capability are very similar.

The B-32 is to the B-29 what the Halifax is to the Lancaster, except that 6,000 Halifaxes were built.

But the B-32 wins in the "looks cooler than poo" category.

I don't know what you're smoking, but the B-32 is hideous.

I love the B-32 more than the B-29.  However, only saw three combat missions with the last one on Aug. 6th i believe.

Most likly not.  I believe all the missions (could be more then three) where recons.  I will have to read up on that but i do not think not one B-32 dropped a bombed on Japan.

It was not in squadron strength, so far as I know.

Most importantly, however, it would be a large amount of work for a unit that is redundant next to the B-29.  There is no reason to add it.
