The Tornado never saw action as a bomber, but the final version of the airframe, the RB-45C, was purely for reconnaissance. With its prominent wingtip tanks, skinned-over nose, and up to 12 cameras, the B-45 was a very capable platform and was used operationally during the Korean War.
All Tornados were removed from active service by the end of the 1950's - the 47th BW received B-66 Destroyers in 1956 and the 91st SRW (operators of the RB's) moved onto RB-47E Stratojets.
