      Oh shit, my bad. I thought one-wing bomber. This us a flying fortress, no? Put an edit on my original comment.

      Thanks for the correction

        No. Flying fortress are the old old bomber from early cold war. They flew a lot in Vietnam. Slow slow planes. They also leave a black streak across the sky from the exhaust.

        B1B is supersonic with the moving wings B2 is subsonic one wing
