I'd put it in second place - along with the Dassault Rafale. The first place belongs forever to the F-16. If helicopters count as well, the H-58 takes the second place.

It's as sexy as the F-4 Phantom :)

Several years ago I was driving in the mountains and a b1b flew over one of the mountains, it looked like it was so low it would knock the top of the trees off.

Bone BA aircraft. It holds more ordinance than any other bomber.

32:30 "Other reasons for cancelation". One of the 'other' reasons , in hindsight, was that then POTUS Carter was read into and briefed on B-2A Spirit stealth bomber . USAF and NG underestimated the per-unit cost of B-2 and Carter beleived that having two expensive strategic bomber programs was excessive. Having short sighted confidence in production numbers of B-2, Carter cancelled B-1A. Later, during Reagan Administration, B-2 dev costs skyrocketed and programme slowed. To hedge USAF's strategic bets, Reagan reactivated B-1A programme which produced B-1B. The 'BONE'.

34:22 "The ALCM ... gave the ageing B-52's a new lease on life". Back then, existing B-52's had been flying for around 30 years. Now, the remaining aircraft have been flying for 60 years - and are scheduled to remain in service for decades to come, surviving the types that were meant to replace them. The B-1B is magnificient, though.

C-5A launched ballistic missile, was never considered a serious contender as a deployable strategic weapon.

The biggest mistake of ww2. Not having aircraft that could fly with the bombers all the way to the target and back. In the start of the war.

I would argue bigger mistakes were invading the Soviet Union or attacking Pearl Harbour. Don't get too caught up in the operational failure of propeller aircraft in a specific time, you are making a gross assumption that doesn't apply today. More than anything, the B-1R and the Air Force's new requirements for their air dominance plan are proving that the bombers are becoming the fighters.
