[edit] Developed from ?

Was the C-97 based on the B-29 (as stated in the opening paragraph), or on the B-50 (as stated in the info box)? 194.237.142.7 11:19, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Both, actually. THe prototype was based on the early-model B-29, but the production models used the improved engines and tail developed for the B-29D (B-50). THat might need to ce clarified in the text. B-29 or B-50 would be OK in the infobox, and we could possibley put both. - BillCJ 15:46, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
