    Re:   B-36 nomenclature

    20-year-old memories of Revell model kits:
    	B29 superfortress
    	B36 buffalo.
    [Second listing sounds questionable in my mind.  I thought Soviet
    bombers were listed by critter names.]

Are you thinking of the Brewster Buffalo?  This was a lusing 1939-
vintage fighter that never received a U.S. type designation.  I
believe it saw @i(brief) service against the Imperial Japanese
Air Forces in the Dutch East Indies.
