 Historical Note:    The B-32 Dominator is a heavy bomber type of aircraft. It was manufactured by the Consolidated Aircraft. Its maiden flight was on the 7th of September 1942 and it was introduced commercially on the 27th of January 1945 but retired on the 30th of August 1945. Its primary user was the United States Army Air Force.

The B-32 Dominator was used by the US Army Air Forces during World War II. It is said to be the last Allied aircraft engaged in combat during the Second World War. In 1940, the US Army Air Corps has requested to have a similar design of the B-29 from the Consolidated Aircraft Company in case a problem occurs with the B-29.

On the 17th of March 1943 the first contract for B-32-CF has been signed but problems on its development went on. On the 10th of May 1943, the initial XB-32 crashed during takeoff and on the 2nd of July the second XB-32 flew but the stability problem of the aircraft continued.

The B-32 Dominator’s first assignment was given when the commander of Allied Air Forces in the South West Pacific Area named General George Kenney and the commander of the US Fifth Air Force traveled to Washington DC and requested B-29s. This request was denied so they requested the B-32 instead. Unfortunately, no example of B-32 had survived. Most of them were scrapped in 1947.
