1. 'Lancer'.

Answer: B1

One of the greatest bombers ever made, the B1 Lancer is a long range large payload bomber.

Top Secret for many years, this bomber has not really had a chance to prove itself. The unique shape of the plane is called a delta wing.

3. 'Flying Fortress'.

Answer: B17

The most famous B17 was the Memphis Belle, which in WWII completed all 25 required missions without losing a crewmember. The plane was retired and the crew got to go home. She was the first bomber in WWII that completed all 25 missions that needed to be flown by one bomber.

4. 'Superfortress'.

Answer: B29

The ultimate replacement for the B17 and the B24, the B29 was used primarily in WWII and also served in Korea. It primarily attacked targets in North Korea. Two B-29's named the Enola Gay and the Bockscar dropped the Atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
