Going back to the Hawker comment from Orenda. Not only was it the same company but the same designer was involved.

"Camm's remarkable series of successful aircraft designs range from his Hawker Cygnet biplane of 1924 to the VTOL P1127 of 1960 and include such immortals as the Hart and Hurricane. The beautiful little Cygnet weighed only 375 lb and was the Hawker entry for the Air Ministry Light Aeroplane Competition at Lympne in 1924."

Rockwell International built four B-1A bombers in the early seventies, but Nixon stopped financing the project and they had to stop the production.

about ten years later, Reagan ordered 100 B-1B Lancers. in the mean while, Rockwell International was taking over by North American Aircraft and they built the B version.

after that, North American Aircraft became, just as lots of other aircraft builders, in the hands of Boeing.

Right idea, wrong President, Jimmy Carter put the stops to the B-1 infavor of the cruise missile. Reagan revived the B-1 during his term.

I may be mistaken, but as I remember theb B-1 was only in the mock-up stage in 1974, the year Nixon left office.
I'm curious, what is your source? Are you sure it wasn't the XB-70, that too was a Rockwell project.
