Has there ever been any consideration to including post WWII planes from the late 40's up to 1949? planes like:

B-36 Convair

I've always found the period from 1945-1949 a great sub era for aviation. end of the war, all those technologies washing up and the jet age coming to the fore, yet no-one quite perfecting it yet.

Holy crap, I never realized just how big that B-36 was. I dwarfs the B29, and that is one huge aircraft!
