Interesting article especially with the Boeing proposal for B-1B as an air to air platform is exactly what Dale Brown mentions in several of his novels from after Flight of the Old Dog onwards. I created thread on this

B-1B upgraded to include air to air capability


Though his books written in late 80s to mid 90s talks about dedicated ‚battleships‘ be it the EB-52 Old Dog or EB-1 Vampire…

cheers
