The unified B for Bomber series began in 1926 with the Keystone XB-1 Super Cyclops. This series continued without changes until the 1962 tri-service designation system was introduced. The numberical sequence restarted from one, but so far only two new bombers have appeared.
In 1935 a new BLR - Bomber Long Range - class was introduced. Two existing bombers were given BLR designations and one new BLR aircraft was produced but the class disappeared in the following year.
