Only 7 Months: The US Consolidated B-32 Dominator’s Very Brief Service Life

The Consolidated B-32 Dominator was developed in parallel with the more famous Boeing B-29 Superfortress but was produced in relatively low numbers. The B-32 Dominator entered service in the closing days of WWII and was quickly withdrawn from service after the surrender of Japan. As fate would have it, the Dominator was both the last US heavy bomber to enter service during the conflict and the last Allied aircraft to see aerial combat.
