You are right, J.E. Starr, the B-1 is totally unrelated to the Strutter and was the predecessor of the T-1 Cuckoo. The B-1 was a land based bomber while the T-1 was a carrier compatable torpedo bomber.

I always thought that a B-1 was just a 11 /2 strutter renamed for export. This looks a lot like a cuckoo. ????????
