[.041 Safety Wire]

I think you forgot the Convair B-36 "Peacemaker", because the project started in the 30's and the first plane was delivered only a couple of days after WW2. The first real intercontinental (atomic)bomber and the biggest plane ever to carry a USAF star :wink:.

Only in wingspan as the C5A beats it in Length,height and empty weight. So can we really call it the biggest.
