B-57

B-57 Canberra

The B-57 Canberra is a British licensed bomber jet. It was first introduced in 1951. The US broke its policy of not buying foreign aircraft because the Canberra was one of the first jets. The Canberra was a response to the Messerschmidt and Arado German jets, which were developed too late to affect the out come of the war, but shocked the Allies nonetheless. The B-57 Canberra replaced the B-26 Invader. The USAF produced a total of 403 B-57s before production ended in 1959. One thing that made the B-57 uniqe was its rotating bombing door.
