A fully illustrated study into the extraordinary Convair B-36 during the Cold War.

Conceived during 1941 in case Germany occupied Britain, when US bombers would then have insufficient range to retaliate, the B-36 was to be primarily a '10,000-mile bomber' with heavy defensive armament, six engines and a performance that would prevent interception by fighters. Although rapid developments in jet engine and high-speed airframe technology quickly made it obsolescent, the B-36 took part in many important nuclear test programmes. The aircraft also provided the US nuclear deterrent until the faster B-52 became available in 1955. It was one of the first aircraft to use substantial amounts of magnesium in its structure, leading to the bomber's 'Magnesium Overcast' nickname. It earned many superlatives due to the size and complexity of its structure, which used 27 miles of wiring, had a wingspan longer than the Wright brothers' first flight, equivalent engine power to 400 cars, the same internal capacity as three five-room houses and 27,000 gallons of internal fuel - enough to propel a car around the world 18 times. Much was made of the fact that the wing was deep enough to allow engineers to enter it and maintain the engines in flight. B-36s continued in the bomber and reconnaissance role until their retirement in February 1959 following 11 years in SAC. Convair employees were invited to suggest names for the giant aircraft, eliciting suggestions such as 'King Kong Bomber', 'Condor', 'Texan' and 'Unbelievable', but the most popular was 'Peacemaker'. Oddly, objections from religious groups deterred the USAF from ever adopting it officially.

This fully illustrated volume includes first-hand accounts, original photographs and up to 30 profile artworks depicting in detail the complexity of this superlative aircraft.

Worth it! Solid dermaplaner.
Color: Matte Blue
It feels solid in my hand. The blade doesn't seem to be all too sharp, but it works... so maybe that's for safety purposes? I like it and will stick with it for a while.

Hair removal improvements, ooooh! Ahhhhh!
Color: Matte Gold
We were vexed and a little annoyed by that one chin hair removal after a waxing treatment. Lo and behold! Zomchi invented a razor for treatments in between salon wax strips. Painless and easy to reapply hygenically. 🤗

Handy. I've never put a razor to my face, but I used this and loved the outcome.

Great moisturizer
I tried this after demaplaning and it worked great. I have decided to not keep up with dermaplaning so I now use this after shaving my legs to moisturize them. It works great for post shave moisturizing on the legs and face.

Perfect Post-Dermaplaning Hydration!
After dermaplaning, this serum is my go-to! It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and instantly locks in moisture without feeling heavy. The hyaluronic acid gives my skin a plump, fresh glow, and I love how it soaks in without any residue. Perfect for keeping skin hydrated and healthy-looking!
