I've been intrigued with the B-58 since watching 'Fail Safe' many, many years ago. For those who missed this excellent movie; it was a serious and thoughtful look at essentially the same doomsday sceanario as 'Dr. Strangelove' but without the comedy. One aspect of the aircraft that I still haven't gotten a plausible answer to is this; how did the nose undercarriage retract? All photographs suggest that if it swings forward the wheels will end up in the radome and if it swings rearward it will strike the centre-line pod. Can anyone enlighten me?
