B-32 was the competition to the B-29. Don't know much else about it though.

If I recall, however, the B32 traced its roots back to the time the B17 was being developed. It was redundant as the B17 was under development as a maritime defense platform, and the need for super long range bombers wasn't visible on the horizon yet.

That is... If I have my planes right, but I think that's the one.

Thinking of a different bird Krusty. I think you are thinking of the B19. The Dominator actually saw limited combat operating off Luzon with the 312th BG.

Here's an image of one from Luzon in 45 found in the Group history of the 308th BG.
