The USAF's first operational jet bomber, the four-engined North American B-45 Tornado was the main nuclear deterrent based in western Europe in the early years of the Cold War.
The B-45C at the USAF museum in Dayton is painted in the colors of the 47th Bomb Wing (Light), which was based out of RAF Sculthorpe in the 1950s. The wing had flown A-20 Havocs and A-26 Invaders in World War Two.
