The Lockheed XB-30 (company model L-249) was the design submitted by Lockheed after the request by the United States Army Air Forces for a very heavy bomber the same request that led to the B-29 Superfortress the Douglas XB-31 and B-32 Dominator. Around 1938 General Henry H. 'Hap' Arnold the head of the Army Air Force was growing alarmed at the possibility of war in Europe and in the Pacific.
