I have always wondered why this bomber was considered as an alternative to B-25 and B-26 although it would have had the capabilities to replace the B-17 and B-24 in their strategic roles over Europe. Is no source available hat mentions this? Lastdingo (talk) 23:18, 30 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

I have removed the name "Dragon" from the text because there is no evidence that such a name was ever assigned to the aircraft and (as explained) three good reasons why it would not have been. LowObservable (talk) 20:33, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I believe this is correct actually as I can't source anything "official" that the XB-28 was nicknamed Dragon. Is there some documentation for this? TheStormofWar (talk) 14:23, 11 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
