I recall seeing the B-36 at the National Air and Space Museum (I think
that's the correct name) in Dayton, OH.  The bomb bay was opened so that
visitors could stand underneath and look up into it.  My memory is a little
faulty, but as I recall, the accompaning description stated that it was
originally designed with the six pusher-prop engines and that the four
jet engines were added later to provide additional performance.
