Range Extension of Bomber Escort (1950)
This United States Air Force film describes and demonstrates an experimental method for enabling a heavy bomber to tow its own fighter-escort aircraft to the target and back. Special wing-tip connectors allow a B-29 Superfortress piston-engined bomber, with minimal extra fuel usage, to tow two F-84 jet fighter aircraft.
