THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN MY AUCTION THIS AUCTION IS FOR A VINTAGE POST WORLD WAR II U.S. AIR FORCE CONVAIR B-36 PEACEMAKER B-36 PEACEMAKER STRATEGIC BOMBER FROM "MPC" AKA MULTIPLE PRODUCTS CO AKA MULTIPLE PLASTICS CO. AKA MULTIPLE TOYMAKERS CO. Multiple Products Corporation (commonly known as "MPC") was also called Multiple Toymakers. The company produced a large variety of toys (mostly made of plastic) over their years in business, including: playsets and figures (many fondly remember their figures that were nick-named "ring-hands", as they had small holes in their hands for which to hold accessories like guns, tools, etc.), dollhouse material, character toys, toy guns, vehicles, games, and more. This auction is for an MPC miniature plastic airplane from the 1960's... The Convair B-36 "Peacemaker" was a strategic bomber built by Convair and operated solely by the United States Air Force (USAF) from 1949 to 1959. The B-36 was the largest mass-produced piston engine aircraft ever made. It had the longest wingspan of any combat aircraft ever built (230 ft or 70 m), although there have been larger military transports. The B-36 was the first bomber capable of delivering all the nuclear weapons in the US arsenal from inside its two bomb bays without aircraft modifications. B-36 "Peacemaker" The B-36D used both piston and jet engines. Role: Strategic Bomber Manufacturer: Consolidated Vultee Designed by: Ted Hall First flight: 8 August 1946 Introduced: 1949 Retired: 12 February 1959 Primary user: United States Air Force Number built: 384 Unit cost: US$4.1 million (B-36D) ($37.8 million in today's dollars) The B-36 was arguably obsolete from the outset, being piston-powered, particularly in a world of super-sonic jet interceptors, but its jet rival, the B-47 Stratojet, which did not become fully operational until 1953, lacked the range to attack the Soviet homeland from North America and could not carry the huge first-generation hydrogen bomb. Nor could the other American piston bombers of the day, the B-29 or B-50. Intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) did not become effective deterrents until the 1960s. Until the B-52 Stratofortress became operational in the late 1950s, the B-36, as the only truly intercontinental bomber, continued to be the primary nuclear weapons delivery vehicle of the Strategic Air Command (SAC).
