True but it was a test bed that was before things were ready. Under powered and to slow to do the bombing job. But pushed the limits of the day. Soon after much more powerful engines would be introduced that would solve much of its problems. The B-36 was the true result of the B-19.The main feature of the B-19 was not just it's size, but it's range and useful lift ability.
