The third one is real. It's a Stipa-Caproni. I recall reading about it in the context of flying wing designs. The cylindrical fuselage is supposed to provide lift and improve propeller efficiency. Supposedly it flies like a dream so long as its going straight.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stipa-Caproni

Robin White Uh, #2 is the XB-70 on display at US Air Force Museum. It has since been moved to a different part of the base.
