I found pretty interesting color schemes of S.Vietnamese flown B-57 in silver/alu finish.Those should be easy recolors of a not well known users of those bombers.

Good work Pericles.

Thanks Karol!

In fact I not found any information about this plane (maybe Don Boose help with you resources)

Colonel Charles E. (“Chuck”) Yeager, USAF, commanding the 405th Fighter Wing, with crew chief TSGT Rodney Sirois, before a combat mission with a Martin B-57 Canberra bomber during the Vietnam War.

During the Vietnam War, Yeager commanded five different units and detachments based in Southeast Asia. He again flew the aforementioned F-100, along with the Convair F-102 Delta Dagger and the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II. But Yeager primarily flew Martin B-57 Canberra bombers, racking up 414 additional combat hours during the fighting.

The plane type was unusual in that it was a license-built version of a British jet, designed by English Electric. Prized for their big bomb loads, Yeager and his pilots used the B-57s to attack troops and supply lines coming down the Ho Chi Minh trail from North Vietnam. Yeager flew his final active-duty Air Force flight in 1975, by that time accumulating 10,131.6 flight hours in 361 different types of airplanes.

Best Regards, Tony.

I found 2 other versions.


This one is called "Black Knights". Not sure if it's based on a real plane. My Google-Fu failed me.


NASA short wing version.

This is all agony for me!!
B-57/RB-57 as soon as poss Murph or sooner would be great!

[gomidefilho]

In fact B-57 is a cool subject...
