Arguably the air force was also just too scared of flying wings to give them the development they needed rather than the tech being unsolvable at the time. It's a shame that none of the prototypes were preserved

Unfortunately Jack was dead for 8 years before the first B-2 spirit.

He was given special permission to view Northrup's "Senior Ice" ATB demonstrator (from which the B-2 was ultimately derived) just before he died.
