I happen to admire the Mosquito, & the ground attack/anti-shipping varient on the B-25 Mitchell,
as described HERE.
Raquel Welch in “Kansas City Bomber”.
What?
I’d have to go with the B-52. Ugly as sin, but solid enough that by the time it’s retired it will have seen an entire century of service. That’s pretty impressive.
On the other end of the service spectrum, I like the B-70 Valkyrie bomber. I suppose I should say XB-70 since it never made it past the handful of prototypes, but it’s just too cool for words. Mach 3 and style to boot.
The Stealth Bomber
The B-29. I just think it’s the prettiest ever.
Also, The He-111 because it was the first model I built, by monogram I think.
I have to go with the B-52 as well. It was designed in the 1950’s and isn’t scheduled to be retired until past 2040. It is still very much in active service as a long-range strategic (nuclear) bomber. The B-52 survived several attempts at replacement when no one could figure out to make something that was actually better. You have to have respect when something in such a primary role has such extreme longevity.
Martin B-10. Blue fuselage, yellow wings, but not much use when attacking Martian tripods.
Another vote for the Mosquito, ever since the first time I saw “633 Squadron.” Built the Monogram one in the sixties and it was my favorite object in all the world for a year or so.
Also, not technically a “B-” bomber, but a vote for the A-12 Shrike. A-8 is OK too, but I prefer a radial engine.
Here I am, reading a thread on bombers, thinking about what would be my favourite and whether you’d let the Mosquito count as a bomber or not, then I switch onto a show called Warplane on TV and it’s all about bombers, spooky.
So, umm, Mosquito then.
Mosquito, for obvious reasons!
Yeah, when I started the thread I meant medium- and heavy bombers. Thus the A-26, B-26, B-25, Mosquito, B-17, Lancaster, B-52, et al. would count. I really wouldn’t count the ‘A’ planes such as the A-6, A-6, A-4, F/A-18, or such things as the ‘Bombcat’. Yes, they are bombers. And yes, they can carry as much or more than a WWII bomber. But they don’t really fit the ‘spirit’ of the poll. (And I do like those aircraft!)
Anyway, the Mosquito counts. It had bomb bay doors, after all. 
I’m partial to the B-17. Especially the B-17E, with its innovative tail turrets.
Damn you people are good…
You already got all my favourites.
The B-1 - Though I prefer the white colour scheme of the “a” model
B-58
Vulcan - I’ve got a big (2.5 meter) picture of one that I just need to find a place to put up. Again, I love the anti-radiation white colour scheme.
and of course, the Avro Lancaster.
Though I’ve always been partial to interceptors.
The XB-70 Valkyrie.
My first choice would be the wooden wonder, the Mosquito, but a close second would be the Arado AR 234, the first jet bomber.
Wasn’t it the aircraft in the movie Fail Safe?
I have to go with the B-24 Liberator as well but mostly because my uncle flew one in WWII. I never understood the limelight that the B-17 held in the WWII bomber department. I guess because it carried a heavier payload and looked a bit sexier…still…the Liberator was a very good plane by most counts I have heard (not least my uncle who is of course biased making me that way too I suppose).
I was always pretty fond of the General Dynamics FB-111A Aardvark as my dad got me a really excellent diecast metal model of one when I was a kid. It was big, heavy, sweep wings worked and really more meant as a display piece (had its own stand) than a toy but that made no matter to me. I honestly have no idea how well it measures up as a plane…just fond memories and I think it looks badass…sleek enough to be sexy but just chunky enough to feel like it means business too.
Mitsubishi G4M “Betty”. It’s more of a love/hate relationship with that bomber, from WW2 flightsims where I had to escort that flying fueltank. Against P-39s, P-40s, etc, it was nothing to worry about. Corsairs and Hellcats made it a different story.
Actually, it’s much more of a hate relationship…
Maybe not, but man, what a beautiful airplane. Here’s a B-10 crew from the 2nd BG in 1936. That year they flew through 600 miles of bad weather to flour bomb the 2nd Army on maneuvers in Michigan. Such fun and games compared to the nightmare ahead…
Of course, the really, really coolest of them all is the B-49. Decades ahead of it’s time. The tragedy is that they were all completely scrapped…nothing remains.
