See if you can track down a piece of a combat aircraft off eBay, and have it mounted. I'm in the middle of getting a air data probe mounted at the moment.
If that doesn't work, there are heaps of good books about combat aircraft. I'd recommend SR-71 Revealed, Sled Driver or Valkyrie
It is a badly written article. AFAIK, there was never any way to make a nuclear powered Mach 3 bomber. Switching piston engines for nuclear powered electrical ones in a B-36 is one thing, trying to make the thrust required for Mach 3 flight is another.
This sentence was lame, just hanging out there, with no additional detail, not even a link to the wiki article:
>Some surfaces also used a special alloy known as René 41.
And this one speaks for itself:
>Ballistic missiles had become effective enough to shoot down planes at the highest altitudes.
But, there's a pretty interesting book about the XB-70, and I have actually seen it in person at the Air Force Museum. It's an amazing plane; I think it's the overall coolest airplane of the 20th century.
